Listen to Backbeat on CJMP 90.1fm qathet (North Sunshine Coast) Monday mornings at 10am

Tune in to Backbeat this week to hear music you probably won't hear anywhere else. Wynonie Harris leads the parade, The Louvin Brothers preach, we'll hear a popular Mexican trio, a groundbreaking bluegrass instrumental featuring a future member of The Byrds, new music from Big Fancy that combines classic 50s honky-tonk with great songwriting, Cab Calloway kicking gongs, and an early rock & roll classic by Johnny Burnett (pictured) that nobody heard until 13 years after it was recorded.

Backbeat airs Monday at 10am on CJMP 90.1 fm (broadcasting in Qathet)

This week's Backbeat has the "King of the Slide Guitar" - Hawaii's King Nawahi (pictured with his group), an early demo by Charlie Rich showing a bluesier side than his "silver fox" days, a swamp-pop anthem and the best stripper song ever. Round that out with some gospel, drinking songs and do-wopp and you've got another must-hear pile of old records. See the list at https://www.backbeatradio.com/index.php/playlists/january-15-2023

Due to computer issues this was the last episode I produced. My computer started to lag and stale after this so producing or recording anything started to take way too long. Curse the ever advancing speed of computer technology and the planned obsolescence.
