We get things going this week with a guy who has been described as "The best white-sounding black dude ever" then keep up the fun with a disc that is purported to be the "first" western swing recording, a fine duet from Matt Anderson and Mike Stevens, some mambo from Oscar Saldana, gospel from the Staple Singers, R&B from Kitty Stevenson, who should have been a major star and Roscoe Gordon, covering one of his own records!

Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners. Email Lorne@Backbeatradio.com or visit www.backbeatradio.com for more information.
