This week on Backbeat you can use your Big Feet to do the Tennessee Waltz by the San Francisco Bay courtesy of Charlie Bop, The Louvin Brothers and Po' Boy Jeffreys & Calamity Jane. We hear a nice track from 60s soul singer Barbara Lynn (pictured) who wrote her own songs and played lead guitar; then we try to figure out what a Dead Cat on the Line is and what kind of name is Cheek-O Vass?
