(2-CD set) If, as one tends to believe, the Rock n’ Roll era was born in the fifties, its build-up covered a long period. In this second volume of the Roots of Rock n’ Roll, we discover the period from 1938 to 1946. The Southern music was changing with its popularity extending over the traditional boundaries due to the boogie-woogie fever, the upheaval of American society provoked by the war and transformations in the record industry. In this time of movement, the whole of America began to boogie in a way that was very similar to what was to be known as Rock n’ Roll. Includes a 40 page booklet with both French and English notes.
