Seeking Out The LA Shake
It all started with a missing album and a mystery. A key song in BBMT’s Hooray LA, “LA Shake,” that was nearly untraceable. Its origin was unclear, misremembered, or erased, until Angel Carreras looked a little deeper.
In the vein of so many famed LA detectives, from Philip Marlowe to Easy Rawlins, Carreras digs through the stacks to find more than he bargained for… the story behind a truly groovy number, “LA Shake.” Listen in and find out more.
