Various ArtistsTennessee Saturday Night: The Rural Route To Rock 'N' Roll
There would appear to be incessant curiosity
regarding the birth of Rock 'N' Roll; scores of newspaper and magazine articles
and even books have been published in vain with the sole purpose of suggesting
what was the first Rock 'N' Roll record. This argument has proved even more
difficult since we have now admitted that the music didn't spring fully-formed
from either Elvis Presley's July 1954 debut at SUN Records or even Bill Haley's
April 1954 debut for DECCA Records - it had steadily evolved in the U.S. from
the myriad sources of Country, Blues, Gospel, Jazz and Pop and in the late 1940s
and early 1950s, fuelled by the post-war explosion of electric instruments and
independent labels.
