...and they called it Rock and Roll. Anyone who likes rock 'n' roll likes the Blues. When Elvis went into Sun studios and recorded 'That's All Right', 'Mystery Train', 'Tomorrow Night' etc., this was the music he had heard on the black radio stations in Memphis, all he did was rock it up. After he became popular, other performers jumped on the bandwagon and Blues, in its new form of r&r, took off. So, if you're not sure if you want to get into the Blues, have a listen to those old Elvis , Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard records. If you like what you hear.. watch this space!!
