Each week, this underrated and rollicking music plays on that old Rockola Jukebox in the back.<\/h3>\n<p>If you wanted to hear rhythm &amp; blues during the 1950s, you couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get it from the juke box in the front. No, no! In order to hear that glorious, down and dirty R&amp;B, you had to go to the low-lit, spit-shined \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Juke In The Back.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d These songs are the building blocks of rock n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 roll. These are the records that inspired Elvis and single-handedly led to the rock n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 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 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Harlem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and now he brings this great music and information back to radio.<\/p>\n<p>More information as well as show playlists are post on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jukeintheback.org\">www.jukeintheback.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>-MTC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Sunday at 8pm CDT, &#8220;Juke In The Back With Matt The Cat&#8221; will debut on its first commercial FM station.\u00c2\u00a0 Currently, &#8220;Juke&#8221; can be heard on several Pacifica Public Radio Network stations across the country and it is sometimes carried on NPR stations.\u00c2\u00a0 This weekend, the special July 4th edition of the show, featuring [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-494","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mattthecat.com\/Blog2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
