The top 100 of 1959 begins this week on The Early Years!

After you've been entertained with the 50th anniversary Abbey Road album on The Mosen Explosion, don't touch that dial and join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
Last December and January, it was the top 100 of 1958; in April, it was the top 100 of 1969; and now it's the top 100 of 1959. This week, you'll hear the songs from 100 to 71 and I'm sure there will be some you haven't heard in a long time if ever.

This week, the “Juke In The Back” spotlights the “Prince of Primitive Cool,” Rosco Gordon. His mostly self-penned tunes, feature his unique blend of mid-tempo shuffle with a slightly behind-the-beat rolling barrelhouse piano line. He was a master at making his recordings sound rough, but there was also a lot of blues sophistication buried under the simplicity.
