This week hear Annisteen Allen performing her song that you would think was offensive to the Japanese but was a huge hit in Japan (unfortunately not for her), well also hear perennial Backbeat favourites Milton Brown, The Swan Silvertones, Johnny Horton, Lonnie Johnson as well as new(er) music from Al Lerman with Lance Anderson.
