Harlem: Week Of 10/02/05

Rhythm & Blues Drinking Songs

Part 2 (still drunk)

Harlem just can’t be satisfied. We’re still thirsty for some Whiskey, Gin & Wine, so we’re headin’ back to the bar, pub and juke joint for some more Rhythm & Blues Drinking Songs. This week, you’ll hear a new set of drinkin’ songs from Wynonie “Mr. Blues” Harris, Stick McGhee, The Clovers, Big Jay McNeely and many many more. Harlem’s philosophy: What’s the use of getting sober, when you’re only gonna get drunk again.

Harlem Airs on The 50s on 5:
Monday, 10/2 at 1pm over a juke joint in Mississippi
Tuesday night 10/3 at 9pm over a dive in LA and midnight over a pub in Boston
Friday 10/6 at 6pm over a gin mill in Baltimore
Sunday 10/8 at 11am for the morning after

Who drank my beer, while I was in the rear?

I hear it all the time. "So and so is soooo underrated!". "No one give (fill in the blank) credit for his amazing guitar work!". Well, now's your chance to tell all The Night Prowlers what artists and songs you feel are completely underrated in the 50s genre. Tonight, call in (1-866-267-0346) and convince me that your guy or gal is underrated (make a solid case for it) and I'll play your song. Plus, all of XM Nation will know how astute and passionate you are.

Underrated Thursday - Tonight on the Night Prowl Show

Buddy Holly Thursday!

Buddy Holly
At
70!

It's hard to believe, but the talented singer/songwriter who left us at the tender age of 22 would have turned 70 today. Over the years, the legendary status of Buddy Holly has grown to heights that even he probably couldn't live up to, if he were here today. On tonight's Night Prowl Show, we'll take a look at Holly's lesser known recordings to celebrate this milestone in Buddy Holly's legacy.
