This week Backbeat has lots of blues, by blues singers this time, that just the way it goes. We'll also hear some movie music, a Zydeco Queen who got into playing music professionally in mid-life, records with star back-up singers (made before they were stars) and a new record from country singer Jeff Beadle that doesn't sound very country, bt does sound vintage.
