Duration: 57 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 2Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 2

Available for years

Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson has a real passion for 50s and early 60s rock 'n' roll, and in another three part series he's playing some of his favourites from the period.

Expect a selection of vintage rock and roll from Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Connie Francis, and The Everly Brothers. But it's not all rock and roll from the States, we'll also hear from some of the UK's stars of the time including Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, Dickie Pride, and many more. In this third episode, Ricky starts the show with a song from Larry Williams and plays three-in-a-row from rockabilly legend Eddie Cochrane.

Ricky says: 'I couldn't be more excited about returning with even more of my Rock & Roll Classics. I can't wait for you to hear some of my old favourites, and even some of my new favourites, twisting and bopping through each hour.'
