That trumpet and that wall. . . .

This week's broadcast is a look at the sound of brass, and the contributions of horns to the driving sound of rock and roll.

• Chicago
• The Muscle Shoals Horns and Rhythm Section
• Blood, Sweat and Tears
• The Electric Flag
• The Memphis Horns
• The Grass Roots
• Sly and The Family Stone

The contributions of all the other instruments are often overlooked, or minimized in favor of believing that it's only the guitar, and the drums that make up a song. Not true, it's about passion, musical ability and the ability to channel the musical muse. Every band, every rock and roller stated out as a band kid, and truth be told, it goes all the way back. Look at Joshua and that fuckin' set of trumpets, blew a damn wall down and it all started there. Enjoy, and get it, hit it and let it rock.
