Digging through the pile of old records again this week, we've got some interesting b-sides, a record that helped launch a dance craze in New Orleans that was bigger than the Twist, some sizzlin' guitar from Jimmy Nolan plus the usual mix of blues, gospel, country and rockabilly.
Backbeat is also available in a 56-minute version with breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners. Email Lorne@Backbeatradio.com or visit www.backbeatradio.com for more information.
