Musical Episode #047 : Shiver & Shakes, an hour of R&B, Doo Wop & More at 45rpm

The extraordinary voice of Faye Adams is one of the many greats in this week’s podcast of rockin, early R&B, Doo-wop and rockabilly 45s.

It’s friday and we’re back with another hour of 45s! This week we’re winding the clock back a bit and putting together an hour of mostly late 50s and early 60s sides. The mix moves around from upbeat Doo Wop to some country infused sides that all share a bit of shimmy and shake to my ears.

Hope you enjoy this mix and we’ll see you next friday for another mix!

Peace forever everywhere for everyone,
-George / Snack Attack
