Renny's Riot
Wednesday January 10th, 2024 with Rooster Renny
This is what happens when your host is trapped in traffic, in an Uber that is playing Top 40 radio. Enough with the autotuned music! Now I crave hillbilly boogie, jump blues, the chicken rhythm, jazz, funk & sweet pan music.

Yeah, after listening to Top 40 Radio I needed something deep fried & greasy in my listening diet.

I in no way endorse the behavior of the male protagonists in any of the Hillbilly Boogie and Rhythm & Blues songs I play.

Tuned in from London ON. See the elusive Scruffy The Cat is on today's show. Saw those guys many years ago when they played here in London. and think this'll be the first time I've heard them on a radio show. Digging the other tunes too. Best

If you do take their advice you'll probably either be lonely your whole life or you'll be jailed.

Ah, Albert Collins. Sneaking in to the Fife & Drum to see Albert Collins & The Icebreakers may mark the starting point of this rake's progress.
