This week on Backbeat you'll hear everything from the hokum blues of Tommy McClennon (doing a song that became an Albert King hit) to a George Jones novelty number, an old timey pre-bluegrass string band, gypsy jazz from France (that what they called it), one of the first pop hits recorded at the FAME studio in Muscle Shoals and a lovely, accapella version of a Leonard Cohen song.
