Roger Salloom Radio Podcast

Roger Salloom does a podcast here on UMR. This eclectic show covers all types of musical ground and different eras along the roots music trail. Roger shares his thoughts about music and the artists that have influenced him over his 50 years in the music business.

Ever wonder why Van Morrison named his song, Domino?

Ever wonder why Mick Jagger sings at times with an African American accent?

Roger Salloom’s podcast acknowledges that musicians, even famous and great ones, are real people and they get inspired by others who came before them. The Beatles were standing on the shoulders of Fats Domino and The Rolling Stones adored Jimmy Reed and Chuck Berry.

The musicians make their creation a unique amalgam. Roger will likely show you the connections….the details.

Roger also makes less than obvious connections between the music of famous musicians.
He spins the music of The Band, Van Morrison, Jon Cleary, Memphis Minnie, Jimmy Reed, Townes Van Zandt, the Legendary father of country music, Jimmie Rodgers, Tim Hardin and others.

Along the way, Roger will almost surely make you smile. His vision is an intimate look at creators. It is not so important when a musician was born or died. His show captures some of the essence of musical, creativity and it is intimate
