Willie Mabon 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.
Willie Mabon scored 2 #1 R&B records with "I Don't Know" and "I'm Mad" in 1952 and '53 respectively. Having 2 #1s ensured that he would never be forgotten, BUT Matt The Cat believes that this piano playing, harp-blowin' blues cat should be better remembered and respected.

Deep Dive is wasting away in Margaritaville

Following his death last weekend, Deep Dive celebrates the life and songs of American singer and songwriter Jimmy Buffet. We eat cheeseburgers in paradise, enjoy grapefruit juicy fruit, and come Monday.

Join me at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there in a trice.

Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, is heard exclusively on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

The Du-Droppers 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.
Matt The Cat presents another highly underrated R&B vocal group from the 1950s: The Du-Droppers. They didn't sound like the stereotypical "doo wop" groups of the era and they weren't your standard rhythm group either. The Du-Droppers had a sound that was all their own.

This weekend in our Rockumentary slot, we begin the Radio England story

Currently in our rockumentary slot, we're running a series a documentaries about offshore pirate radio, and it's proving popular with listeners. We're so glad you're enjoying it.

This weekend, having completed our look at Radio London, we begin the Radio England story. Backed by some of the Texans who originally invested in Radio London, many of the existing operators were concerned about what Radio England and Britain Radio's arrival would mean in 1966. While giving some British broadcasters their first opportunity, it failed to challenge the major stations on the air.

Deep Dive meets the devil in disguise.

This week on Deep Dive we hear from the king, Elvis Presley. We visit the Ghetto, experience the wonder of you, and stay at the heartbreak hotel.

Tune in on Monday at 4 PM Eastern, which is 6 Am Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Lean in close to that Smart Speaker of yours and whisper in its digital ear play Mushroom FM, and the result will be the glorious sounds of music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Rivers, Kings, Mulls, Maids and Men, this Week on Come by the Hills!

Hello! Sara hillis here once again, letting you know that I'm back this week with another antic edition of Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic Music Show! I think it's safe to say that our collection of music this week is ecclectic, to say the least. We've got songs about rivers, a couple of Mulls (yes, including a certain Mull we all know and love here at Mushroom FM,) a few songs about kings, some songs about maids, and to even things out, a few songs about men.
