There's a lot of great music from under-recognized innovators on this week's Backbeat - Charline Arthur, Merrill Moore, Camille Howard and even Percy Mayfield get to shine. Ken Tizzard salutes Ron Hines, we hear Mickey and Sylvia before they were a team, honky-tonk country from Carl Smith and low-down blues from Big Mama Thornton.
