We've got some music pioneers again on Backbeat this week, Bob Wills the "Father of Western Swing", early country rock singer and writer Zeb Turner, Lucky Millinder and Louis Jordan who helped lay the foundation for R&B plus slide guitar, washboards and bongo virtuosi. Sean Poluk does some Delta blues and we'll hear heartbreak honky-tonk from Blake Bamford AKA Big Fancy.
