Comment:
At what point did rock and roll merge or what genre started it? They say Elvis Presley is the king of rock and roll, but what would have happened if Jerry Lee Lewis didn't marry his cousin? I am a guitar player and I have been playing for years. My two good friends play in a blues band called The 4 On The Floor and all four of them have a base drum for some good old stompin'. One of my buddy's one day said to me after listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival track `Effigy' and hearing how great John Fogerty's guitar playing is. "Why don't all these so called new guitar player have any roots to their playing?" That got me thinking of a mix that I have put together from my record/CD collection of the Roots of rock and roll, and where it all began..Feedback:
Nice mix, I used to feel the same way about groups not having any roots, but there is a whole undercurrent of great country & rock groups which harken back to the beginnings. I love everything here with the exception of JB. Great mix.
A friend used to refer to the "primordial soup that spawned rock and roll" and I think you have a lot of the main ingredients of that soup right here.
rock n roll came out of the blues and r + b. The first rockers came out of the 50s.
