This week on the Musicscope we explore how Sam Phillips helped develop the sound and talent that would influence the early sound of rock n roll. Sun studio's output in the 1950s would shape the sound of rock and bring BB King, Rufus Thomas, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and... oh yeah, Elvis Presley... into the spotlight. Studio techniques like overdriven guitar, blended vocals, and slap-back echo gave the music a new, in-your-face sound that had never been heard before.
