I think this song deserve more recognition, the guitar solos from this are pure rock and roll! And it was recorded in 1946! Before Good Rocking Tonight and That's All Right Mama.
The guitar breaks are pure Rock and Roll and that's a fact. That makes this one of the first Rock and Roll songs ever recorded.
100% correct.
People think rock and roll started with Elvis but nope..greats like the sister Rosetta tharpe, fats dominos (the fat man in particular recorded in 1948) Roy brown, and countless others in the boogie woogie, jump blues, country and western were toying with the new genre.
@@ajtstvandmusicarchivechann1585 American music has all been influenced by black slave, gospel and blues, which became rhythm and blues, which became rock and roll. Country was started by black blues, when it collided with Irish and English folk music. It began in the Appalachians. The banjo was introduced by blacks, its origins are African. Jazz, ragtime, big band, rock it all was branched and invented from black music...
@@barnacles62 Country was started by fiddlers actually, ulster-scots music. Saying country is African because of the banjo is like saying Jazz is European because of the trumpet. Though yes, none of these styles were developed in a cultural vacuum. Americana has equal contributions from European (tonality, instrumentation, language) and African (rythmic, vocal techniques, popularizing five note scales) overall. Though bluegrass and early country leans more celtic.
@@busterdouglas593 The first known country music was started in the Appalachians, and is considered Bluegrass today. The Scotts, English, and Irish did indeed bring the fiddle, and many kept their history with songs, which was the other driving force as well. But keep in mind blacks were never given credit for anything in those days. Just like Mabelle Carter taking credit for the scratch, when it was being used wayyyy before she did it in black blues as well as just plain playing by blacks. Lesley Riddle, a black man, put the Carters where they were. She always gave himcredit for the the blues picking she did, but kept the scratch, which makes a guitar lead instrument, for herself. Well, listen to blues, and see if the guitar is not the lead instrument. The Carters and Jimmie Rodgers are the most known first country stars, but there were more before them. Im not saying that there are not other contributers to it, its obvious if you listen to it through the years, but if you listen to very early recordings of country then blues, you can hear the blues and though they call it country today, its main drive is black gospel, black rhythm and blues.
And here we have the acorn that grew into a mighty oak called "rock and roll."
Just heard of The Delmore Brothers about 20 minutes ago. This song in particular truly surprised me...the guitar pickin has that rock-n-roll sound...way before there was rock-n-roll. Very impressed with their music!!
It's arguably the first modern rock n roll song which within eight years it would resurface into something phenomenal.
How can it be R&R without drums?
@@brushcreek42 Sometimes you can get lucky if you have a steady beat and rhythm you just never know the sound that's created would impact within a few years time. Maybe they didn't hire a drummer but there's no doubt this planted the seed what Rock N roll would be.
Birth of something great going on in this music!
It's the white man's boogie!!!
1956. yes..playing left hand piano boogie riffs on a bass guitar..and the right hand licks on solo and rhythm guitar..all with a strong backbeat.......which would become rock and roll a few years later.
'46

MESTIZO COUNTRY - BOOGIE QUE SUENA ALGO A ROCKIN.
Hillbilly Boogie is Hillbilly music plus Boogie Woogie. The Delmore Brothers did not ride the rock 'n roll train of the 1950s, they had their own thang going on.
"with a scene from "Our Hospitality," a film about how Southerners are feuding assholes." haha, that's funny.
Billy Don Burns should do this song,he don't do many ,but ole lonesome 77203 would bang this one out
This is so ....... ira and charlie louvin
ES DEL AÑO 1946.
The visual detracts from the great music. Doesn't work.
I hope you have been paying royalties to use my grandfather's likeness and his recordings. RUclips you owe my mother her siblings for your piracy.
You can always try and pull the video down with RUclips directly
If you did that though, then it would just be re-uploaded by other people. You can't really stop the internet from sharing things around.
