Toby Jepson from Wayward Sons chooses his Rock God and Johnnie salutes Ginger Baker.

Wayward Sons frontman Toby Jepson reveals his Rock God and Johnnie pays tribute to Ginger Baker for 'This Week In Rock'.

Toby Jepson is no stranger to the British rock scene. In the 80s, he was frontman for Little Angels and his current band, Wayward Sons have just released their new album, 'The Truth Ain't What It Used To Be'.  Wayward Sons are also currently on tour with Black Star Riders. Toby's Rock God is a genre-defining frontman, but one who hasn't been chosen many times on the show....who is it?! Listen to find out! Also on the show, Johnnie remembers drum pioneer, Ginger Baker who died recently aged 80. Ginger's contribution to music through his work with Cream, Blind Faith and many other incarnations is second to none. However, Ginger was never too keen on the term 'rock', as you'll hear in some archive audio of him chatting to the BBC in 2013.  As ever, Johnnie will also bring you the pinnacle of rock's new releases plus some anthems from across the decades.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
