About this book

Louisiana Rocks!: The True Genesis of Rock and Roll by Aswell, Tom. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781589806771.

An in-depth history of rock and rolls Louisiana roots. Taking the position that rock and roll started in New Orleans in 1947 when Roy Brown recorded Good Rockin Tonight, Aswell provides an expansive history of this beloved American music form. By looking at the Louisianan influences of swamp pop, Cajun, zydeco, R&B, rockabilly, country, and blues music, the author explores the way these musical forms gave birth to rock and roll as we know it today.
