RADIO ETHER
PROGRAM ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN
(1948 ETHER)
"So I've said this before, and you agree. Rough and Rowdy Ways is a fucking great album. Something just dawned on my listening to it just now. This album should have been released in 1948. The music is perfect for that year. Rock and roll was just being born (sorry, but Elvis Presley did not invent RnR. You know that too), the blues were in their heyday, and sweet tender songs were the highlight. I know I'm being very specific when I say 1948 definitively, but you gotta trust me on this one. Give it another listen, and picture yourself in a zoot suit sitting in a beautiful long black Cadillac. You'll thank me later. Tee hee. Hey, Truman had his White House there in '48 too." - Dan Klute
