On Backbeat this week we've got two records that show a direct connection between 1920s jazz and 1950s rock & roll, also a Muddy Waters record, and a Chuck Berry record that both had a big effect on British groups you may have heard of. You'll also hear Sam Cooke singing gospel like he never sang for this pop audience, some great New Orleans classics along with the usual mix-up of country, blues and whatever else.
