KRLX mix #72 (5/12/2021)

According to your host, this episode of WTAW features “selections from seven decades of British guitar pop, from the ’60s to the ’20s.”

With that description, you might be expecting virtuosic displays of Limey axework from the likes of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton. Instead, DJ Owen focuses on a wide range of British six-string standouts, from pub and punk rock practitioners to personal faves like Blur’s Graham Coxon and The Smiths’ Johnny Marr.

Nor is the king of riffs unrepresented. So kick back with Keef as Where The Action Was pays a visit to “Hitsville U.K.”
