Matt The Cat presents the soul that came before rock n’ roll: 1950s rhythm and blues. Each week, this underrated and rollicking music plays on that old Rockola Jukebox in the back.
Now it’s your chance to drop a nickel in the ol’ “Juke In The Back” and make a request.  Your voice just might appear in a future episode of “Juke.”Â
Call (812) JUKE-MTC, that’s (812) 585-3682
Leave your name, city and the radio station or internet stream that you listen to “Juke In The Back” on along with your request and/or comment.
At the end of the Second World War, economics forced the big bands to trim their once great size and thus, the Jump Blues combo was born. Between 1946-1954, rhythm and blues laid the tracks for what was to become Rock n’ Roll. So how come, 70 years later, this vibrant and influential music is still so unknown to so many?
Matt The Cat is going to change that with the radio program, “Juke In The Back.” These were the records that you couldn’t hear on the jukebox in the front of the establishment. To hear all this great 1950s rhythm & blues, you had to go to “Juke In The Back.”
