Summary
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. 🎧 Watch & listen to the full episode 🛒 Old Glory - Iconic music and sports fan merch 💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: BOOKEDONROCK https://oldglory.com/discount/BOOKEDONROCK ---------- Booked On Rock is part of The Boneless Podcasting Network BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock Store The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich: BLUESKY FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM TIKTOK X Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: [email protected] The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe
