The Origins of Rock and Roll

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode


In the early 1950s, a new type of music burst forth, which had its roots in blues, gospel, country, and swing. 

This new music took the world by storm and was as controversial as it was successful. 

This music has spawned countless variations, some of which are so different that it is hard to see how it evolved.

Learn more about the origins of rock and roll and how it came to dominate music on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
