The best mix of music, news and chat with Fred Hart: From Folk & Acoustic sounds through to 1950s Rock ‘n’ Roll, Country, and well-known Classic Hits – blending familiar favourites with a few less familiar selections along the way.
This week features a smooth orchestral Country moment which explores the Countrypolitan subgenre; There’s a Same Song, Different Decade pairing of two different versions of Summertime Blues; Plus another personal pick goes in to Fred’s Jukebox.
Join Fred broadcasting live from home, Saturday mornings on Cirencester Radio.
π½ Fred’s Jukebox
Fred’s Jukebox returns this week with a track that feels closely tied to the music at the heart of the show. With a strong 1950s theme running through the second hour, this is a record that looks back on that era and reflects on the music that shaped it.
This week’s choice is American Pie by Don McLean from 1971, a song I’ve known since childhood and one of the first I learnt to play on guitar. It’s always been one I’ve come back to, both as a listener and a musician, and it continues to hold a special place in my own journey with music.
All my Jukebox entries are listed on the Fred’s Jukebox webpage.
