Catching A Wave 11-27-23

 

We kick off the holidays with a couple of new Christmas releases by Joel Paterson and The Manakooras (on Nu-Tone and Hi-Tide Recordings) and there will be plenty more in the coming weeks (if you're on Santa's Nice list)! We hear the title cut from Ruby Baby (celebrating it's 60th anniversary) from Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Dion in our Good Time segment. There's a snippet of an interview with Dion where I ask him about that song and the album cover which was cut out and included on The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover too. Beth Riley has an early deep track from The Beach Boys in her Surf's Up: Beth's Beach Boys Break and as always we drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to hear our twangy selection of the week (the legendary Duane Eddy). Plus, there's tunes from Amphibian Man, Kris Bone, Dogstar, Danny B. Harvey, Los Grainders, Abyssal Lurkers, The Weeklings, The Gold Needles, Chrome Castle, The Brain Waves, The Serfers, The Ventures and The Slimetones!
