This chronicle of the birth of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll journeys from the Depression era cotton fields of Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas into the southern juke joints, honky-tonks, recording studios and rural churches, and onto the world's stage. The compelling story is told by the musical pioneers themselves: Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Buddy Knox, Gene Vincent, the Johnny Burnette Trio and others. Red Robinson and Jerry Naylor host; Wink Martindale narrates.
