  • Summary

  • Young Elvis Presley finds his passion in the country, R&B, and gospel music of rural Tennessee, and doesn’t think twice about making it his own. Chuck Berry takes R&B and puts the guitar front and center, writing songs with blues licks and great, almost poetic American stories. Country meets blues as each man tries to cross the color divide. The concept of appropriation becomes convoluted as the template for rock and roll is set and the color lines are blurred.
