Big Rock Candy Mountain: Rock 'N' Roll in the Late '50s, Part 4 of 4
von
The Pop Chronicles is a documentary radio series about the history of popular music, told through recordings and the voices of the people who made it. This installment focuses on rock ’n’ roll in the late 1950s, under the title “Big Rock Candy Mountain.”
The program combines music with interviews and commentary, giving listeners a chance to hear artists and other participants discuss the music and its era. Rather than presenting a fictional drama, it offers a documentary-style account shaped by archival sound and firsthand recollections.
As the fourth part of a four-part segment, this recording continues the series’ exploration of the period. Its appeal lies in hearing the songs alongside the stories and perspectives that help place late-’50s rock ’n’ roll in context.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
