Harlem

Part 2

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, 3/17 at 1pm over a juke joint in Mississippi
Tuesday night 3/18 at 9pm over a dive in LA and midnight over a pub in Boston
Friday 3/21 at 6pm over a gin mill in Baltimore
Sunday 3/23 at 11am for the morning after

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

Lloyd Price almost single-handedly invented rock n’ roll back in 1952 with the immortal “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”. It was this song that got the black kids dancing with the white kids and they haven’t stopped since. Lloyd joins Matt The Cat for a deep look at the early ’50s recordings he did for the Specialty Label. Lloyd takes you behind the scenes to what really went down in new Orleans. Don’t miss this R&B; legend all week long on HARLEM.
