Special Playlist: History of Rock Pt 1

by: Jessica Hayes

Rock and Roll is what we love most here at Rock to the Masses. The great thing about rock music though is that it had so many influences. One of the biggest influences being blues. When you hear a lot of classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin or The Rolling Stones talk about what inspired them it's almost always "delta blues." This week and next week we will be featuring some special playlists exploring the history of rock music from the beginning to the present. The great thing about these playlists is you can hear them live at Backbeat Radio. Every Sunday at 4pm central time you can listen to Jessica's show.
