This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio # 929

by ·

My recent blog post about falling in love with Suzi Quatro when I was 15 prompted the long-overdue decision to make Suzi Q our Featured Act on this week’s exciting edition of This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio with Dana & Carl. We reached back to the ’60s for a track by then-teen Suzi’s first group The Pleasure Seekers and went as late as 1980 for tracks from her Rock Hard album, but mostly we stuck with the churnin’ glam motherlode of Suzi Quatro’s ’70s sides. We deliberately skipped her only U.S. hit “Stumblin’ In,” because we funny that way. From “Can The Can” through “Lipstick,” we hope we did the glycerine queen proud.

With Suzi Quatro as our bedrock ‘n’ roll, we also offered the latest from The Primitives, Dana Countryman, Amoeba Teen, and The Doughboys, and a plethora of irresistibles from the past, present, and whatever’s left. All this, and Suzi Quatro. Thump Thump ThumpThumpThump. This is what rock ‘n’ roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.

This Is Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio with Dana & Carl, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
