This week on Backbeat radio we discover an obscure Texas slide guitar player cited by big-name rock guitarists as an influence, we'll hear an early country female group, a Cuban/American who sings like she's on fire and some sizzlin' gospel from the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi. Backbeat is also available in a 56-minute version with breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.
