    Hand-Picked Music
    Put your cat clothes on and hit The Open Road this Sunday 6/6 at 9pm and take a trip back to the 50's and listen to the wild sounds of 50's rock. Gary's special guest will be Gary Stewart from Rhino Records who has just produced a new compilation called "LOUD, FAST, & OUT OF CONTROL" (The Wild Sounds of 50's Rock). The 4 cd box set explores the "devil music" that scared the bejesus out of parents as opposed to the "Happy Days" prom-rock that the poodle skirt and saddle-shoe wearing sock hoppers were listening to at the malt shop. The box set includes music from such rebels as Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Willie John, and Little Richard.

Vintage records collide with new releases, while house, indie dance, post-punk, trip-hop, darkwave, and unexpected detours keep the boundaries loose. The common thread is energy, groove, and discovery, with one hand in the crates and the other firmly planted in what’s happening now. Tune in to Tyler’s show Thursday nights from 8 to 10pm.
