Tired of the 300-song playlist? Look no further than Freddy Vette's "Back of the Rack."

Here's the inside scoop from Freddy, host of the outstanding Freddy Vette Show 2-7 p.m. ET Monday to Friday on CJBQ Belleville.

"The hour of music features rarities from the '50s and early '60s. I have a few resources that I call upon to find the music for the hour. The only criteria is the proper era and a title or artist I don't recognize. I legitimately do not preview any music before it hits the air. I hear the music for the first time along with the listener. That makes my reaction very spontaneous and legitimate. And the hit or miss aspect of the hour is very real. I've had hours that are filled with terrible records (which in its own way becomes entertaining) and hours that are filled with gems. It's an adventure in music discovery for the listener and me!"

"Back of the Rack" is broadcast every Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET on CJBQ, and we have a sample hour.
