5.0 out of 5 stars
does this cd contain the first rock and roll recording?, July 17, 2010
This review is from: 1946-1949 4 (Audio CD)
jazz gillum played high-pitched very old-time harmonica but he used willie lacey on many of these recordings as a guitarist resulting in a handful of exciting jazzy solos and what is the earliest rock and roll track that i have heard (april 1947) "you got to run me down"......sure, "rocket 88" was the first rock and roll "hit" but this tune was recorded first........
