Each week, this underrated and rollicking music plays on that old Rockola Jukebox in the back. If you wanted to hear rhythm blues during the 1950s, you couldnrsquo;t get it from the juke box in the front. No, no! In order to hear that glorious, down and dirty RB, you had to go to the low-lit, spit-shined ldquo;Juke In The Back.rdquo; These songs are the building blocks of rock nrsquo; roll. These are the records that inspired Elvis and single-handedly led to the rock nrsquo; roll explosion of the mid-1950s. Big Joe Turner, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Ruth Brown, Ray Charles, Wynonie Harris, LaVern Baker, Roy Brown, Joe Liggins, Professor Longhair and many more take center stage on The Juke In The Back. Matt The Cat hosted a similar program on XM Satellite Radio called ldquo;Harlemrdquo; and now he brings this great music and information back to radio.
