King Records, Part 10: Federal Records, Part 2: 1954-56 this week 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.
This week, it’s part 10 of a 10 part feature on the great King Record Label, out of Cincinnati. Syd Nathan, who began putting out records under the King logo in 1943, developed King as a hillbilly music label. After seeing the sales potential in the Rhythm & Blues market, Nathan launched the Queen Records subsidiary in 1945, but folded it into King in 1947 and transferred his R&B acts over.

Folkish Fun Once Again, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hi there! Sara Hillis here to tell you what's coming up for you in just over twelve hours as I'm posting this. It's another episode of come by the Hills! I hope to bring it to you live, but it depends on the rather stormy weather today. It may make more sense to do a voice-tracked show for you this week, but hey. Maybe I'll get some of The Snow Man's nerve and just broadcast live in spite of the thunder! Anyway, regardless of how it's coming to you, I promise you a new show today, filled with great Folk music with a Celtic sound!
