The last album in the series of ‘The Roots of Rock ’n’ Roll’. Once again, it explores its roots through the amalgamated explosion of various musical genres such as Rhythm and Blues, Country, Bluegrass and Gospel- so incendiary that it set the world on fire and since its inception in 1950’s America, it has never stopped!

On The Roots of Rock ’n’ Roll Vol 4, we have selected tracks that sent these early electrical impulses over the radio waves, with driving songs that helped shape a brand-new era in popular music. Featured on this album are great artists -some known some not so well, such as Hank Williams, Jackie Brenston, Bill Haley and many, many more…
