This week, we have TWO firsts on The Friday Night Cat Fight. The podcast is being expanded into a half hour program! AND we’re going to have a 3-way Cat Fight for the first time EVER!

Each week, the show will have a theme that relates to the song that the cats will be battling over. Then toward the end of the half hour of tunes, the Cats will battle it out for your vote.

This week’s theme is “Roads” to correspond to the Cat Fight which will be over the classic tune, “Down The Road Apiece”. Don Raye wrote the song for Will Bradley’s Orchestra, who did the original version. We begin, however, with Amos Milburn’s 1946 rendition which was recorded during his first session for Aladdin Records. Then, Chuck Berry puts his stamp on it from 1960 and we close out with The Rolling Stones version from their 2nd US LP issued in 1965.

Vote for the version you dig the most and please leave feedback in the comments section as to how you like the new version of the Friday Night Cat Fight.

    Matt,
    The new format is good.
    The moreMatt the Cat Radio we can get online the better. By the way, Amos Milburn has to win or there is no justice. Amos was a genius piano player. A very important musician who made the transition from the Chicago piano boogie of Ammons, Johnson, and Lewis to the jump-blues that would be huge influence on New Orleans cats and the birth of Rock and Roll.
    Amos wins.
    But Chuck is great of course and this is probably my favorite Stones record. They did a GREAT job on this one, and when they was just babies too!

    Love the new format, Matt. Far more entertaining hearing a themed show instead of just something like “OK cats, here’s the contenders tonight, vote for them.” Great work, and I love your research you do into the music. It’s awesome hearing the fun facts that you dig up.
