In this riveting episode of our series, we chart the exhilarating course of Blues as it gave birth to the seismic force of Rock 'n' Roll. We start at the confluence of Jump Blues, Gospel, and Country music, exploring how artists like Louis Jordan, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Bill Haley added fuel to the incipient Rock 'n' Roll fire. Tune in as we dive into the influences that helped shape Elvis Presley's sound, explore the critical role of radio in disseminating this new music style, and celebrate the unsung pioneers who often get overlooked in the annals of music history. From the rollicking rhythms to the electrifying guitar riffs, we examine the Blues elements that laid the foundation for Rock 'n' Roll and changed the course of music forever.
