If you don't want to hear the sisters who defined the '50s "girl group" sound, or an early, previously unreleased recording by Roy Orbison and the Teen Kings then maybe skip Backbeat this week. But then you'd miss on of the crazier versions of Heartbreak Hotel, some great gospel by The Staple Singers and the New Lane Jubilairs and some fine banjo pickin' by an early folk preservationist named Buell Kayzee. Maybe you'd better not skip it after all.
