1955 Rock and Roll is Born....Maybe: Ed Ward's History of Rock & Roll
b'Host Nate Wilcox talks with Ed Ward about 1955 and 1956. These are the years when the \\u201cAmerican Prometheus\\u201d brought forth Elvis Presley, when Chuck Berry culturally appropriated Western Swing for his first hit and Hollywood shocked the masses with the first rock and roll movies. As always we\\u2019ll touch on the non-musical factors that made all this possible -- changing demographics and new musical formats -- as well as a few outside factors that slowed down, but couldn\\u2019t stop, this musical revolution.\\nBuy the book and support the podcast.\\nDownload this episode.\\nHave a question or a suggestion for a topic or person for Nate to interview?
