The Mess Around

Rockabilly, 1950's R'n'B and Rock'n'Roll events. Playing vinyl all night long honing in on the wildest rockabilly, 1950s Rhythm'n'Blues and Rock and Roll music.

Stomping, strolling, bopping and jiving. Exotic sounds for the night.

Grits and Grease Show 31.
Listen via www.rockin247radio.com
On show 32, we have songs from my current obsession with Macy Skip Skipper, Count Demon, and the original Upsetters.
Plus the latest release from The Hillbilly Moon Explosion 💥, Jose Feliciano's rocker from 1966 and Dolly Parton as you've never heard her before with a single released in 1961. It's very very different from her country music.
No autotune, no AI, all bad taste and out of step with the world 🌎
Big hugs to you 💋

Big hugs.
