Roots Of Rock N’roll Vol 1 1927-1938

(2-CD set) Legend would have it that Rock’n’roll was born in Memphis in 1954 when a young truck-driver by the name of Elvis Presley opted to sing “Black blues” his way. A legend that drastically over-simplifies reality, however, for the roots of rock’n’roll are already to be found in the early recordings of blues, jazz and country music of the mid-1920s. Includes a 40 page booklet with both French and English notes.
