The juke is jumpin' with records focusing on classic R&B songs about cars. The automobile is a "road tested" symbol of the American Dream. We have all this land and the car gives us the freedom to get from one place to another. We'll dig on some tunes about Cadillacs, Buicks, Mercurys and Model Ts. Plus, musicologists Billy Vera and Steve Propes drop by the "Juke In The Back" to make their cases that the first rock n' roll song might have been about a car. "Juke In The Back" focuses on the "soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others. "Juke in the Back" is available from Pacifica Radio. Juke In The Back #179 - Playlist 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2.
