If you like your jazz, blues, country and gospel all mixed together - sometimes in the same recording - Backbeat is the show for you. We've got everything from Roy Acuff to the Coasters, a classic from Big Joe Williams who does mix almost all of those elements using his unique 9-string guitar, a washboard and a violin. You'll also hear two new "vintage" country music records from Weepn' Dave and Kate Reid.
