Abbey Road on the River with Andy Forgie, Ali Hawthorne and Jay Goeppner 2023

In this episode of The History of Rock and Roll, recorded on Thursday, May 29th, 2025, I took you on a time-traveling jukebox journey back to the heart of rock ’n’ roll’s golden age!

We turned up the volume on unforgettable moments from the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s, when doo-wop ruled the corner, jukeboxes lit up the night, and legends were born on vinyl and AM radio.

I was thrilled to be joined by three phenomenal guests: Michael Russo, the soulful voice of The Reflections; Elijah Wald, author of Dylan Goes Electric; and John Wood, the producer behind the powerful documentary on Nicky Hopkins, The Session Man.

These are voices that don’t just talk about music; they’ve lived it, chronicled it, and helped keep its spirit alive for future generations.

Don’t miss this one! Whether you’re a doo-wop diehard, a Dylan devotee, or a classic piano rock aficionado, there’s something in this show for every rock and roll heart. 🎧

Tune in and catch the rhythm of rock history!
