The stories of how Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Howlin' Wolf and others came to record the songs that changed popular music forever are told in a new biography, "Sam Phillips, the Man who Invented Rock 'n' Roll," by Peter Guralnick.

Phillips was founder of Sun Records, and he discovered and produced many legendary artists. Guralnick, a legendary rock journalist, stopped by Dad Rock HQ to discuss his latest book and engage in other rock talk.
