Renny's Riot
Wednesday October 16th, 2024 with Rustic Renny
Roots & Riots: No new punk, just old junk. A blast from the past with more music for hillbillies, a blues harp hop, the big greasy organ of Wild Bill Davis & a crazy R&B square dance.

Lina Lost
Add my name to the list 'cause I really do miss when you were doing Roots & Rhytms. I was a frequent listener.

1:45 PM, October 16th, 2024
Renny G (host)
CKCU - lovin' the listeners since 1975.

1:45 PM, October 16th, 2024

Thanks for listening Benoît & Lina. Any other listeners?

In the house, Renny. Nice Hillbilly set.

In. As usual. Listening while draining some freshly made soup stock. Place is stinky with food aromas.

1:51 PM, October 16th, 2024
Anomize
Listenkng

1:52 PM, October 16th, 2024
Peter (pass the mouse) B

Frankie
Nice, A Cancon hillbilly tune.

1:54 PM, October 16th, 2024
Little hillbilly
WOW! HILLBILLY HEAVEN!! thanks for the "pandering!" got harps ready....

2:03 PM, October 16th, 2024
Renny G (host)
Hey hillbilly. Hey Frankie Thanks for tuning in guys. I do appreciate all your support and comments.

2:07 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
Another great Papa Lightfoot tune on the show.

2:11 PM, October 16th, 2024
Renny G (host)
He's a fairly recent discovery for me. I only heard the guy for the first time a couple of years ago. I love it.

2:13 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
I don't believe I've ever even read the name Arbee Stidham, I will of course check out the wiki. (later) Great tune, it seems to faintly foreshadow the organ music to come.

Just jumped in online! Perfect day for some twang

2:23 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
Ha ha, an X-rated moment.

2:25 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
It would appear that around 1955, Bill Davis became Wild Bill Davis.

2:36 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
Very, very bad advice if a guy is looking for a girlfriend.

2:39 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
Nice contrast between the powerful steamroller organ chords and the guitarist playing single notes.

2:46 PM, October 16th, 2024
Renny G (host)
Hank Penny's advice, not mine. It's almost as bad as Charlie Walker's "Tell Her Lies & Feed Her Candy". I swear some of those ol' country singers drove white panel vans......

2:46 PM, October 16th, 2024
Renny G (host)
I love your comments Frankie. Keep 'em coming but don't blame me if I steal "powerful steamroller organ". That is worthy of being stolen.

2:48 PM, October 16th, 2024
Frankie
Joe Liggins back on the show. I bet he and his band were big on the nightclub circuit. Happy stuff to dance to, what could be better?
