If you are open for external libraries, you can install vlc binding for python using pip install python-vlc

And use player method to play audio file directly from URL as below.

import vlc
import time

url = 'http://prem1.rockradio.com:80/bluesrock?9555ae7caa92404c73cade1d'

#define VLC instance
instance = vlc.Instance('--input-repeat=-1', '--fullscreen')

#Define VLC player
player=instance.media_player_new()

#Define VLC media
media=instance.media_new(url)

#Set player media
player.set_media(media)

#Play the media
player.play()

Advantage of vlc player is that you can play most media types directly from URL (not just mp3) and also perform player like options such as

>>> play.pause()  #pause play back
>>> player.play() #resume play back
>>> player.stop() #stop play back
