Is your station searching for a new, free, weekly music program? End your search with “Searching for The First Rock and Roll Song”
PERFECT FOR WEEKENDS OR OVERNIGHT!
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.”
