King Records, Part 9: Federal Records, Part 1: 1951-54 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 9 of a 10-part series 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.

It's Another Folkish Feast, this Week on Come by the Hills!

The table is full-laden! It's almost time once again for three hours of interesting, fun and thought-provoking music, as well as hopefully-interesting, probably-fun, and surely-provoking (minus the thought) banter, on Come by the Hills, the Folk and Celtic music show on Mushroom FM! I have no specific theme tonight, just a cornucopia of cracking tunes. (See how I did that? Cornucopia? Canadian Thanksgiving?) Well, notwithstanding my stratispheric cleverness and absolutely stellar wit, I hope you'll join me!
