Elvis’ Rhythm & Blues Influences this afternoon on The Juke In The Back!

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
45 years ago last week, we lost the “King Of Rock n’ Roll. Much has been written about Elvis’ enormous impact and popularity over the years, but it’s almost impossible to overstate the cultural shift that took place as he rose to fame in 1956.
Elvis was a musical sponge. He absorbed all the music that moved him and those around him, from Country and Hillbilly to Gospel, Pop, R&B and Blues.

A very special celebration this week on The Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, unfortunately for her, another COVID caused replay, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
I'm dedicating this week's show to my friends, Hank and Marian in Ottawa as they're celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary today. Nancy and I were there!

One More Rerun, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello again! Sara Hillis here to tell you that we will actually be replaying the Come by the Hills show from April 2, 2022 this weekend. I had promised you that one two weeks ago, but instead, I ended up playing the show from June 4 by mistake. I'm hopeful that this will be the final rerun in this covid-inspired series of encore presentations, but only time will tell. I am feeling mostly better, but I do have a lingering cough which still affects my voice at times.

Deep Dive celebrates Olivia Newton-John

This week on Deep Dive we reach back into the vault for a programme I made in late 2020 to celebrate the life and music of Olivia Newton-John, a well-regarded Australian singer. We get physical, don't play B 17, and honestly love you. Olivia Newton-John died last week at the age of 73, and for myself and many Australians, as well as others around the world, it is important to celebrate her music and life.
