Article Analysis

   From the article that I read for the article summary was an article about the upbringing of Rock and Roll. I feel that within this class we cover the importance of music. I feel that Rock and Roll was one of the most important genres in the music world. In the article that I read it talked about the history and the roots that created the new sound of Rock and Roll. Rock and Roll originated in the 1950's which we all know was a time of segregation in America. The roots of Rock and Roll are blues and folk music. Producers and artist took these two genres and made a whole new sound of music. The thing that was so special about Rock and Roll was obviously the sound but the roots of blues and folk music. Blues music was a predominately black cultured style of music. Black artists played and originated blues music from the deep south. Folk music was a predominately white cultured style of music. Rock and Roll was born with a producing company and a man named Elvis Presley. 

  

  In class we are covering these roots and who popularized these style of music. It is important to know how theses styles of music were brought up and why they are so special. Rock and Roll changed the music ways with lyrical intent and sounds. Rock and Roll was one of the first genres of music that introduced the sound of the electrical guitars. America was in a time of rebellion, most of the population was very young and rebelled the old ways. The people wanted new, so it was up to producers to fill this want of new music. Rock and Roll took the style of protest lyrics and took it to a higher level. This is what the people wanted to hear and what they wanted to follow, and the new sound of Rock and Roll was gold to the ears of the listeners. Unfortunately the old style of Rock and Roll has died out, but original Rock and Roll was the genre that allowed Rock to grow throughout the years.
