The Influence of “Junker’s Blues” and R&B Telephone 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 "Juke In The Back" is jumpin' this week as we take a look at the history and influence of the Champion Jack Dupree classic, "Junker's Blues." He learned the tune from New Orleans boogie woogie pianist Drive 'Em Down, but it was Dupree's recording that influenced Fats Domino, Lloyd Price and Professor Longhair.
We'll also make some long distance rhythm & blues phone calls from Floyd Dixon, Sonny Terry, Muddy Waters and Big Walter.
Grab a nickel and dig on the "Juke In The Back."
Join Matt the Cat for "Juke in the Back", Thursday morning at 4 AM Eastern, with an encore presentation, Sunday afternoon at 3 PM Eastern, after "The All 80s Show" with Gary G and before "The Song Remembers When" with Melissa Ricobono, on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, making four decades of magic mushroom memories!
