Note From The Editor

We are currently working on getting a new player for our 24 hour webstream. In the meantime, you can listen via any mp3 player by opening this address: http://wfmu.org/wfmu_rock.pls

You can also find us in Itunes under Radio/Golden Oldies/WFMU's Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban.  This also shows the song title/artist playing.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Limehouse Blues

I never get tired of guitarist Billy Mure's spectacular version of this old jazz standard.

Esquerita Awareness Month: "Sweet Skinny Jenny"

      This is the A-side to Mr. Peek's first solo single; the B-side may be heard here, where its context, and the origins of this particular copy are discussed at length. Besides Peek and Esquerita, this session also included future NRC recording artists Joe South and Ray Stevens.

     I held off on posting this last week because I was hoping to relate an amusing anecdote about Mr. Peek, but the person I heard it from some years back no longer remembers the details, so I'm gonna skip it. It wasn't that great anyway, I guess.

Dave "Baby" Cortez Goes Country

So I understand that organ man Dave "Baby" Cortez has a new album coming out soon on Norton Records. If he slips in another crazy country cover or two I, for one, will be a very happy customer.
