| Zusammenfassung: | This essay contends that much of the creativity driving the formation of popular folk music, such as blues, country, and early Rock n' Roll, in the American South during the early twentieth century grew from the religious tension between concepts of sacred and secular rooted in evangelical Protestantism. This essay examines the rebellious impulse of Rock n' Roll as, in the absence of religious boundaries, tensions, and influences, it grew beyond its Southern roots. |
