This week's "Juke In The Back" spotlight on Camille Howard is one such example. Her boogie woogie piano style was inventive, fluid and pure joy. It left a lasting impression on Ike Turner, Fats Domino and Professor Longhair. Howard rose to fame as the pianist for Roy Milton & His Solid Senders in the mid-1940s. Their breakthrough smash, "R.M. Blues" featured her fantastic piano style and the public took notice. Soon, Art Rupe of Specialty Records had her releasing solo records under The Camille Howard Trio while she remained with Roy Milton. Matt The Cat will dig into Howard's best work with The Solid Senders as well as her solo material up through 1956, when she left music for good. Camille Howard, along with Hadda Brooks must be remembered as pioneering instrumentalists in the developing field of Rhythm & Blues, which of course led to the birth of Rock n' Roll. Camille Howard's star shines on this week's "Juke In The Back." 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2. R.M. Blues - Roy Milton & His Solid Senders - Juke Box 1946 3. Camille's Boogie - Roy Milton & His Solid Senders - Specialty 1947 4. Thrill Me - Roy Milton & His Solid Senders - Specialty 1947 5. X-Temporaneous Boogie - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1948 6. You Don't Love Me - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1948 7. The Mood I'm In - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1949 8. Fiesta In Old Mexico - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1949 9. O Sole Mio Boogie - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1950 10. Shrinking Up Fast - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1950 11. That's The One For Me - Roy Milton & His Solid Senders - Specialty 1950 12. Money Blues - Camille Howard & Her Boy Friends - Specialty 1951 13. GREAT 78 - I'm Blue - Camille Howard Trio - Specialty 1950 14. Excite Me Daddy - Camille Howard - Federal 1953 15.

ON SHOW #4531 Cobra Records Cobra Records left quite a bite, even though this little West Side Chicago label was only in existence for three short years. Cobra was started by television repair shop owner Eli Toscano in the summer of 1956. Toscano was lucky enough to snag Willie Dixon from Chess Records to write, produce and scout talent for his new label. They hit gold right out of the gate, when Cobra's first release, "I Can't Quit You Baby" by Otis Rush went to #6 on the national R&B charts. Cobra would not score another hit record, but they are credited with popularizing the West Side blues style of their young artists; Otis Rush, Magic Sam and Buddy Guy. In fact, Magic Sam's "All You Love" and Otis Rush's "Double Trouble" are considered bonafied blues classics today. Betty Everett recorded her first sides for Cobra and Ike Turner recorded some of his last before forming Ike & Tina Turner. So get ready to fall under the spell of Cobra Records as Matt The Cat spins this little label's best sides on this week's "Juke In The Back." 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2. I Can't Quit You Baby - Otis Rush - Cobra 1956 3. Rock and Roll Boogie - The Clouds - Cobra 1956 4. Have A Good Time - Shakey Horton - Cobra 1956 5. Mambo Fiesta - The Calvaes - Cobra 1956 \ 6. Violent Love - Otis Rush & His Band - Cobra 1956 7. Shake It - Duke Jenkins - Cobra 1957 8. I Don't Care Who Knows - Harold Burrage - Cobra 1957 9. My Love - Betty Everett - Cobra 1957 10. All Your Love - Magic Sam - Cobra 1957 11. Look Whatcha Done - Magic Sam - Cobra 1958 12. Double Trouble - Otis Rush & His Band - Cobra 1958 13. GREAT 78 - Love Me With A Feeling - Magic Sam - Cobra 1957 14. I'll Weep No More - Betty Everett & The Willie Dixon Band - Cobra 1958 15. Roll Your Money Maker - Shakey Jake & The Willie Dixon Band - Artistic 1958 16. Try To Quit You Baby - Buddy Guy & His Band - Artistic 1958 17. (I Know) You Don't Love Me - Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm - Artistic 1959 18.

We have had a few requests from listeners that they couldn't find us on the popular 'Tune in Radio' App. on Android and PC and iphones.  Running a search of 'Rock-it Radio' will actually list 100s of Rock stations.  So, the best way to find us on this very thorough and extensive app. that I love using myself is - run a search on 'rockabilly' - there you will easily find Rock-it Radio listed. Our Tune in Radio App. webpage is also at: http://tunein.com/station/?stationId=41878 ROCK-IT RADIO PREPARES TO CLOSE DOWN VENTURA CALIFORNIA STUDIO.  DISRUPTION IN PROGRAMS. We are getting ready for the big move!  With our 6000 CD's and just as many 45s and LP's and mixer's and recorders etc.  All headed off to a new location in Post Falls, Idaho.  On April 29th the entire studio is going to be packed and shrink wrapped.  And headed to storage in Idaho.  With the exception of one computer, one DSL line for internet connections, and one CD Duplicator and screen and copier sitting on a card table.  Until we vacate the Ventura Station on the first week of June.  We will be able to provide programming up until that time - pending property showings and fixing up the location here for sale.  You may have noticed that programming has been sporadic and a bunch of shows are put on then quiet for a couple of days.  That will probably continue until we get the new studio going up in Idaho. We will start reducing our offers in the Rock-it Radio Launching Pad and should follow the following schedule. - Last orders for Rock-it Radio shows will end Midnight on April 27th. After that  they will be stored away and prepared for shipment North.  We will not have access until we get up to Idaho Ourselves.    - Sales of Vintage Rock Radio Shows will continue until May 29th.  From the Launching Pad at: http://www.rockitradio.net/store.html After that the master recordings due to there value will personally be traveling with us up there.  -- The Rock-it Radio T shirt offer will be ending on Midnight on April 22nd Pacific Time.  http://www.rockitradio.net/tshirt.html each t shirt is made individually per order and we just have no place to make new shirts after this date as we will be packing for the move.  So if you want a Rock-it Radio T Shirt order by the end of this weekend. There will be no shows uploaded in the final days here in Ventura California and we get the new studio functioning in Post Falls Idaho.  So from June 1st to June 12th we will be unable to fill Rock-it Radio Launching Pad orders or upload new shows.  After June 1st Postal orders for shows should go to  our new address and that will be posted in our order page at: http://www.rockitradio.net/order.html One of our Earliest Priorities once we arrive in Idaho is get the minimum amount of equipment up and going to at least get new shows back on air for Rock-it Radio.  So, please don't forget about us during our brief abscence :) MARCH END OF THE MONTH WINNERS ANNOUNCED FOR LAUNCHING PAD SUPPORTERS.
