With Jean Silverberg
A weekly trip through the history of recorded music.
Primitive pre-Beatles rock'n'roll from the Upper Midwest 1957-1963 (or so)
Former Radio Rumpus Room alumni Jean Silverberg and Ron Thums worked their way through 38 tracks of raw early rock'n'roll from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas. Very important note! If you want to hear these songs your only good option is to listen to the complete archive -- the LISTEN NOW button above -- and not rely on the individual PLAY arrows below, as many of the tracks we played were not recognized by the dumber-than-it-looked Spinitron software. That's not the worst of it. On several tracks it simply guessed at the title and played a totally different -- and embarrassing -- song from the Spinitron library. For cripes sakes... we have seen the future and it is not pretty!
