May 10, 2026 First Rock N Roll Album?
We've cooked up something real special for you this week in The GXO Music Podcast celebrating 70 Years of Rock N Roll (1956-2026)

In today's episode, painstaking, exhaustive research has enabled us to EXPOSE the underbelly of the very first Rock N Roll album to go #1

The time:1956
The place: The Methodist Television Radio & Film Commission Building
1525 McGavock Street in the heart of Music City.

Nashville, Tennessee..

Before Nashville even knew it was music city itself

The studio where this storied album was recorded in, lost to us forever now, in the rubble of tomorrow's parking lot parties.

"They paved Paradise and put up a Parking Lot" - Joni Mitchell

For your pleasure, we are eviscerating and dissecting the innards of what came to be the FIRST Rock N Roll album...

An album that launched a thousand dreams, and, in doing so, gave birth to The Teenager. Youth Culture. The Counter Culture. The beginning of the end to segregation and possibly, perhaps, giving rise to the Civil Rights Movement of the early 1960s...

The Wild One (1953)

Johnny Strabler: "Whaddaya got?"

Hinton's 1966 novel The Outsiders

May 02, 2026 A Hotel Called Heartbreak
On August 25, 1955, the El Paso Times reported the death of painter Alvin Krolik under the headline "Story Of Person Who Walked Lonely Street". Krolik himself had penned the line in his unpublished autobiography prior to being shot and killed by local police during an attempted robbery in El Paso, Texas.
And so a legend was born...

All this and more in the latest installment of the GXO Podcast celebrating 70 years of Rock N Roll (1956-2026)

*THE MUSIC

25 year old, Oklahoma born Hoyt Axton, son of Texas born composer Mae Boren-Axton, writes "The Pusher" in 1963. Four years later on May 14, 1967, ground zero for the Summer of Love, Canadian/American, Los Angeles based psychedelic rock band Steppenwolf record their first version of The Pusher live at the Matrix club in San Francisco. The band would go onto re-record the song for their self titled debut album, released January 29, 1968, which would reach number six on Billboard's Album Chart. The album's lead single, "Born To Be Wild" would peak at number two on Billboard's Hot 100 Songs Chart. Both "The Pusher" and "Born To Be Wild" would be included in the 1969 landmark counterculture film Easy Rider the following year.

"No No Song" was recorded by Beatle Ringo Starr in late 1974 and released the following year. With a little help from his friends Harry Nilsson on backing vocals, Jesse Ed Davis on electric guitar, Rolling Stones alumni Bobby Keys on sax and Nicky Hopkins on piano, Klaus Voormann from The Beatles' Hamburg days on bass, No No Song went #1 on the US Cash Box Top 100 Chart, #1 in Canada and #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart. To date, No No Song is Ringo Starr's 7th and last Top 10 hit.

"Milkcow Blues Boogie" was originally written and recorded by Kokomo Arnold in 1934 as Milk Cow Blues. The song made Arnold a star and was widely adapted by blues artists as well as Western Swing musicians. Elvis Presley released the song as the A side of his 3rd 45 single for Sun Records on January 8, 1955. After securing the rights to Presley's contract, RCA Records re-issued the song later the same year in December 1955, later including it on Elvis' 1959 album A Date With Elvis.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was written by Mae Boren-Axton and Tommy Durden. The song was recorded at RCA Victor January 10, 1956 at 1525 McGavock Street in Nashville and released January 27, 1956. This is Elvis' debut release for RCA Records.

April 12, 2026Exposed! 1954-1955 Music Charts
Our tale begins in the mid to late 40s...
The 1940s
Post War America
The Great Cities of the East are full of electricity and light
And music...
Swing beat is DEAD daddio
Bebop and Blues rule!
Jump Swing
Shout Blues

...but this new thing, as yet, remains undefined

Founded in 1894 (solely sheet music back then kids!) Billboard Magazine didn't know what to do with it or what to call it either...

Although the area of Harlem, situated within the borough of New York City known as Manhattan, only takes up approximately 1.4 square miles (as reported by the New York City Department of City Planning in March of 2019) Billboard Magazine, began publishing a music chart directed towards the entire African American customer base of the United States in 1942.

They called this chart The Harlem Hit Parade.

Close to 50 years after the publication's inception, Billboard Magazine decided the African American music consuming demographic mattered, or rather, their money mattered (cue Randy Newman "It's Money That Matters").

Three short years later, Billboard changed the name of the chart to "The Most Played Juke Box Race Records" followed by "Best Selling Retail Race Records" in 1948. These unfortunate (and possibly even hateful) labels used to categorize a type of music are literally, the very definition of racist (look it up).

While some historians suggest the term "race" was a self referential term used by African Americans in the early part of the 20th Century, the word came to be considered offensive in the post-war world.

This prompted the editorial staff of Billboard Magazine to rename the chart "Rhythm & Blues Chart Listings" in June of 1949...

...which is where our story begins

As this exciting new music slithered out of the primordial sludge of post War rhythm and blues, something MAGICAL happened...

Previously imposed barriers between people gradually, over time, began to shift and erode. And then...

The walls came tumblin' down!

March 30, 2026 Proto Rock N Roll: 70 Years (1956-2026)
In this Episode we continue to CELEBRATE 70 Years of Rock N Roll!
1956 - 2026
...from the very first HIT BLUES song ever in 1920 on the deep down low through the murky waters of the Mississippi Delta onto Robert Johnson, FOUNDING MEMBER of the 27 Club, through his TWO HISTORIC Texas Recording Sessions (1936 & 1937), Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Charley Patton, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, Ry Cooder, the Rolling Stones and MORE! MORE! MORE!
Generations in the making, Rock N Roll officially became part of the cultural zeitgeist in 1956, the first year this perpetually evolving NEW MUSIC produced the most popular song of the year.
Rock N Rollers Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins, Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers, Bill Haley And The Comets, vocal group The Platters, Johnny Ray and British skiffle sensation Lonnie Donegan were also present in the Top 50 Year End Singles Chart of 1956.
This had never happened before in the history of recorded music...
From this point on, Rock N Roll ruled the charts, becoming the most dominant genre of popular music for the next 40 plus years.
To celebrate this milestone. The GXO music podcast will, over the next few episodes, be exploring and expanding upon the ever evolving nature of Rock N Roll from it's humble acoustic beginnings through numerous other incarnations including, but not limited to, pub rock, punk rock, proto punk, post punk, industrial, disco, electronic, hardcore, rap, EDM, post rock, new rock and ultimately where she currently resides in the hills of contemporary NPR = New Post Rock where nary a guitar is likely to be found.

SEX, humanity's ORIGINAL DRUG, gets a Subsection B, of course. It is what it is.

Sex being Sex, there's gonna be some bad words, degenerate ideation and base behavior voiced in some of the songs. For this we do not apologize, however, we do STRONGLY URGE LISTENER DISCRETION. We got GG Allin in the house today kids so it's time to lock up your doors to protect the youth of tomorrow.

As you may have noticed, after 80 odd episodes of The Generation X Offender, we have finally given up Dancing about Architecture, or rather, talking about music, essentially the same thing. Music is meant to be listened to. FULL STOP.

In the immortal words of 70's disco singer and pornographic actress Andrea True, "More, more, more. How do you like it? How do you like it?"
Why?
Because more is, MORE!
Right?
Why choose when you can have more?
Why chose when you can have both?

"This is what you want, this is what you get" - John Lydon

MORE SEX please! (no, we're not British)

Back by popular demand, we've extended the Sex segment of our three episode dissemination of "the great civilizing force of the 20th Century, Rock N Roll"

Why?
Because we love you.
We love to love you baby.
Not to mention the oft cited X-Rated tome "Tales From The Camelot Motel" by Dame Mary Gauthier herself, both King & Queen of the storied Ryman
"He's lying on the double bed acting self assured
In his T-shirt and his underwear he's barely said a word
She pours a cup of coffee lights the day's first cigarette
Picks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchenette

And there's two guys moving slowly in the room across the hall
Both their heads are pounding from last night's alcohol
They met in a chat room then they took it here
They both go by pseudonyms and soon they'll disappear

Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace from which they fell
So they hold on to each other in the darkness
Cuz the morning light is hell
At the Camelot Motel

He met her at the pool hall the guys told him she's touched
Now she's ranting and she's raving 'bout the Devil, Christ and such
He's thinking 'bout the highway and the way she begged last night
He's wishing that he'd blown this dump before the morning light

Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace from which they fell
So they hold on to each other in the darkness
Cuz the morning light is hell
At the Camelot Motel

Lancelot and Guenivere bang their bedpost in my ear
Neon lights the castle walls bug lights in the entrance halls
I lie awake with a troubled mind thinking 'bout what I left behind
Me and the royal denizens got damn good reasons for our sins

Now there's a couple counting money in Room 124
They're wrapping 10's and 20's throwing their 1's on the floor
They're strung out and they're nervous, they jump at every little sound
He keeps picking up his pistol then putting his pistol down

Cheaters, liars, outlaws, and fallen angels
Come looking for the grace
From which they fell
So they hold on to each other
In the darkness
Cuz the morning light is hell
At the Camelot Motel
The Camelot Motel"

This episode is dedicated to all those with deep and reoccurring knowledge of the Walk Of Shame. We know who we are.
