PRINCE ALLA & JUNIOR ROSS, "I Can Hear the Children Singing 1975-1978" on 
the Inside Track, Friday 9 p.m.
Two-disc set of vintage roots reggae produced by Tappa Zukie (DJ known 
best for his Rasta anthem "MPLA") - a disc apiece devoted to singers 
Prince Alla and Junior Ross. We will be listening to the Ross disc, which 
features the harmony trio Spear, several extended discomixes and a few 
fine voiceover toasts from Zukie. Another superb collection on Blood & 
Fire.

LOUISIANA ROCKABILLY AND HILLBILLY on Hell or High Water, Sunday 1-2 p.m.
Shreveport's Ram label and studio, operated by Mira Smith, was not as well 
known as other Louisiana labels of its day like Goldband, but during the 
late '50s few others were as consistent in feeding the hotbed of 
rockabilly and early rock'n'roll that the city had become. This week's 
program will focus on vintage sides recorded 1955-59 on Ram and its 
subsidiaries, by performers like the Lonesome Drifter, Margaret Lewis, 
Toby Johnson and Roy Wayne. 

CHICAGO TRAX on the Classic Inside Track, Sunday 2-3 p.m.
Out of a few early '80s Chicago clubs - most famously The Warehouse - and 
at the hands of deejays like Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Frankie 
Knuckles and Larry Levan developed the post-disco dance music phenomenon 
of house. This week we will be featuring mid-80s 12" singles on pivotal 
Chicago house label Trax, including classic records by Phuture, Fingers 
Inc, Levan and others.

SORRY ABOUT DRESDEN, "Let it Rest" on the Inside Track, Monday 9 p.m.
Local faves SAD return with their fourth full-length of throwback "Young 
Rock" Chapel Hill indie-guitar-rock and honest post-Replacements 
songwriting. Which is to say, this rocks. Out once again on the Saddle 
Creek label.
