There's a bit of intermittent radio static on Blues Is King.  Hey, that's the way radio was back then. It settles right down after that into a very clear broadcast.

We get several nice covers; Mr. C takes on Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll," Jackie Wilson's "Reet Petite" and the fabulous Arthur Alexander's "Soldier of Love."  I note that the Beatles used to do the Turner and Alexander songs, back when they were playing the Cavern.


Once again, thanks to the Sam Elliot's Mustache collection of vintage Philadelphia radio broadcasts.
