New Orleans R&B, Pt. 2

This week, it's part 2 of Juke In The Back's 3 part series on
the great, influential and infectious music that came out of
New Orleans, one of America's most fertile musical cities. In
fact, the "Crescent City" is often cited as the birth place of
Jazz, The Blues, R&B and Rock n' Roll. While New Orleans
certainly had its share of influential talent, from Louis
Armstrong and Paul Gayten to Fats Domino and Dr. John, it's
hard to give one single region all the credit. The music that
flowed from this fruitful ground is definitely something special
and on part 2, Matt The Cat will look at New Orleans R&B from
1953 to 1955, highlighting records by Professor Longhair, Fats
Domino, Dave Bartholomew, Lloyd Price, Shirley & Lee, Eddie Bo
and many more. Next week on part 3, we'll wrap up our series with
a look at New Orleans R&B from 1955-1957. So get ready for some
real jumpin' musical jambalaya on your source for vintage Rhythm
& Blues on the Juke In The Back.

============================================
Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder

Remember, if the show that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the list of radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows to have a high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and memory. And currently we can only afford the 30 latest shows online here at Rock-it Radio.  So, when a new show is put online it knocks the oldest one off the Rock-it Radio archives page.  Usually a show will at least last 16 to 20 days, once it is placed in the archives.

============================================
