Welcome to the first episode of what David Wild of Rolling Stone has called “the most promising Web music series” of 2010. Created by Greg Mitchell, former editor at legendary Crawdaddy magazine and author of nine books, it offers a highly personal look at several decades of rock ‘n roll — from Elvis Presley to Elvis Costello. It opens with one of the oft-overlooked pioneers from New Orleans, Fats Domino.
