Mickey Bo’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue is a bouncy romp through the early rock ‘n’ roll and pre-rock rhythm & blues playground. Mickey Bo plays the rockabilly, doo wop, R&B and bubblegum pop you danced and necked to — the stuff civic leaders feared would rot America’s moral fiber and your parents begged you to turn down! But it’s also rock’s roots — late ’40s and early ’50s pre-rock rhythm and blues that defined what followed. It’s strictly pre-British invasion music with the big hits, a lot of long forgotten oldies, and many that never even made the charts.
Mickey Bo’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Revue ain’t American Bandstand! Here, original rock superstars Fats, Elvis, Ricky, and others share the stage with ancestral 1940s and early 1950s R&B artists like Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris and Ruth Brown, who were among the first to define the new genre of music with a backbeat.
Mickey comes to you every Saturday from 6-7 p.m. Eastern Time (2300 UTC) over WEBR in Fairfax, Virginia.
