Booked On Rock with Eric SenichShow Notes
Wilko Johnson wasn't just a guitarist—he was a force of nature.
Long before punk exploded in the late 1970s, Wilko Johnson and Dr. Feelgood were tearing up stages with a raw, high-energy sound that would influence countless musicians. With his distinctive choppy guitar attack, intense stare, and relentless stage presence, Wilko created a style that was entirely his own.
In this episode highlight, Mark Wilkerson, author of Pub Rock (Genre: A 33 1/3 Series), dives into the story of Dr. Feelgood, one of the most influential bands of the pub rock movement, and examines how Wilko Johnson helped change the course of rock music.
