Jimmie Rodgers&The Carter Family: Ed Ward's History of Rock&Roll - a podcast by Pantheon Media

Ed Ward and host Nate Wilcox fill in a gap in our discussion of his epic History of Rock&Roll Part 1, 1920-1963 by discussing the foundation of commercial country music and its first superstars, Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family. This week, Ed and I talk about the 1927 Bristol Virginia sessions where A&R man Ralph Peer discovered both Rodgers and the Carters, their different career arcs and musical styles and their incredible impact on American popular music.
