Go Kat, GO! The Rock-A-Billy Show! 5.31.23

235. Dedicated to the late Dickie "Be-Bop" Harrell, original drummer of Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps who suddenly passed away today at the age of 82. Longtime friend and fan of the show, we're very saddened to share this terrible news about our pal, Dickie. Tonight we'll feature a trove of classic Blue Caps tracks as well as some inspired selections from Dickie's Capitol Records "exotica" LP from 1961, "Drums And More Drums!". Plenty of other great toons to enjoy tonight as well with hot summertime cuts from The Hicks Men, Little Sheba and the Shamans, Tami Nielson & Willie Nelson, Jack Rabbit Slim, The Glad Rags, Ria & The Hi-Binders,  Deke Dickerson & The Whippersnappers, The Ichi-Bons, The Barnestormers and that killer Elvis-inspired LP from Eddie Clendening and the Blue Ribbon Boys! PLUS a great tribute set for the 1st Annual Tear It Up! Rockabilly Music Festival in Croatia this weekend (Marcel Bontempi, The Rhythm Shufflers, The Lonestar Boys, Restless & Sara Dee and the Foxhunters!). Always the best and brightest rock n' roll stars heard on DJ Del Villarreal's "Go Kat, GO! The Rock-A-Billy Show!"Please follow on FaceBook, Instagram & Twitter!
