Another extraordinary pioneer of the Rock N Roll sound, and quite possibly the coolest guitarist ever. This song feels counterintuitive to play, because the drumset part is swung, and the guitar part is straight, but musicians at the time were evolving out of rhythmic tendencies, and that has to be recognized.
This drum cover is one of a series of 30 throughout the month of September, acknowledging Black Artists throughout the last century that have indisputably shaped modern music. Their influence for the last 100 years in the development of popular music is abundantly present and must be consistently acknowledged. Black Lives, Artists, and Music Matter.
