Welcome to the Blues Roots of Rock & Roll website
Click on “Lets Get Started” and select from one of three categories to follow any number of paths to learn about a blues or rock artist, listen to different versions of song titles (both original and covers), and read comparative analysis between them. Or just start clicking around to see where you wind up. Either way, you’re bound to learn something you didn’t know before. While creating this site I know I certainly did!
"People keep asking me where the blues started and all I can say is that when I was a boy we always was singing in the fields. Not real singing, you know, just hollerin', but we made up our songs about things that was happening to us at that time, and I think that's where the blues started."
Son House, 1965
