Big Joe Turner: one of rock and roll’s founding Fathers

Posted on February 27, 2018 by

My new podcast: Big Joe said he just sang the blues for years and eventually they called it rock and roll.

Research material: The Chitlin’ Circuit and the Road to Rock ‘n Roll, by Preston Lauterbach (and a nod to the great Nick Tosches)
