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.
Jimmy Reed was a hit-making blues machine back in the 1950s, yet he isn't as well remembered today as some of his contemporaries. This week, Matt The Cat and the "Juke In The Back" dedicate the entire program to this highly influential bluesman. Reed's mid-tempo shuffle was unique when first introduced in 1953 and has since become a part of Blues and Rock n' Roll DNA.
