Amos Milburn’s R&B Drinking Songs 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.
The ol’ Rockola Juke is jumpin’. Drop a nickel in and throw a few back with the “king of R&B drinking songs,” Amos Milburn. We’ll hear all about “Bad, Bad Whiskey,” “Good, Good Whiskey,” “Vicious, Vicious Vodka” and many more of Milburn’s early ’50s rhythm and “booze” hits. Plus, Big Mama Thornton tells us how she recorded the original “Hound Dog” with Johnny Otis in 1952. This, however, was not the version that truly inspired Elvis. We’ll hear the version that did and much, much more on this edition of “ The Juke In The Back” with Matt The Cat.
Join Matt the Cat for Juke in the Back, tomorrow morning at 04:00 AM Eastern, with an encore presentation, Sunday afternoon at 03:00 PM Eastern, on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, making four decades of magic mushroom memories!
