You don't want to miss Backbeat this week, if you do you won't hear Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers, an early, pre-fame recording by Johnny Horton, a great send-up of Clyde McCoy by Spike Jones' trumpeter George Rock, a thoughtful piece by Roger Miller and a record by a duo named Mustard & Gravy. How could you miss that?
