Rockabilly N Blues Radio Hour 01-25-21

 

It's our last Rockabilly N Blues Radio Hour (for now) as we take a hiatus to give time to starting up Catching A Wave (starting next week).  But, we have a killer hour planned on this episode with a great Howlin' Wolf tune from Beth Riley on her Beth's Blues Break.  We'll take a stroll to the Doo-Wop Corner (with songs from Dion and The Dynamics), drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to hear a rocker from The Blasters AND we get NEW tunes from Kim Wilson and Martini Shakers in our instru-Mental Breakdown.  Plus, hear the latest from Darrel Higham, Restless, Twang Gang, Jolie & The Jackalopes, Ry Bradley, Eva Eastwood, Howlin' Ramblers and another rockin' studio take from Elvis Presley.  We also have rockers from Gene Vincent, JD McPherson, Jimmy Sutton's Four Charms and Eddie Cochran!!
