It's The Backsell! hosted by blues bandleader and radio host Jason Vivone! To wrap up the year, Jason will once again guide us through a selection of recordings by artists who may or may not be household names but have made all added to our musical lexicon.
Segment highlights:
Our December edition of LADIES WHO SWING THE BAND features reconciliation for a singer just doing her job - GEORGIA GIBBS.
We hail Sedalia's own king of ragtime and pop of the day, SCOTT JOPLIN.
The GUITAR GRIND celebrates BO DIDDLEY's birthday like a funky Baby New Year.
And the WHOLE MAGILLA features Johnny Ace asking the fateful question "What ate you doing New Year's Eve?"
Just like in radio broadcasting, Jason will "backsell" each set, providing insightful commentary and anecdotes that illuminate the history, influences, and cultural significance of the music you're hearing. It's a chance to rediscover old favorites, discover new gems, and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of recorded sound.
