From WWOZ in New Orleans comes a truly unique music show featuring great early rock music rarely, if ever, heard on other music programs. A two-decade long staple on WWOZ, uber-knowledgeable Host Jaime Dell’Apa spins records coveted by collectors from the era when rock and roll was emerging but hadn’t yet settled on a definition of itself.

On Searching For The First Rock and Roll Song, listeners will hear music:

  • from before rock and roll was domesticated into a commercial music industry.
  • when country and western sounded like swing,
  • when pop music sounded like rockabilly,
  • when rockabilly sounded like rhythm and blues,
  • when doo wop sounded like girl groups,

and all those musics sounded an awful lot like what we now call “rock and roll.”
