Has your city/state/province/part of the country created it's own genres or subgenres?give up some background on the innovators and history on what gives you your regional bias.Houston + + + =
not really looking for who is from your city but what styles were born from it... I wanna those lil known genres that might be overlooked. Obviously The Bronx's contribution is one of the world's best known.
Are you sure Memphis is the birthplace of Rock-N-Roll?
well when I hear early 50s sides of Billy Emerson, Ike Turner, Jackie Brenston, Rosco Gordon, Rufus Thomas...I think that yeah, it was invinted and perfected here...I guess you could argue the whole "shake rattle and roll" and west coast screamin' sax game of Big Jay McNeely and Chuck Higgins and a couple Johnny "Guitar" Watsons' RPM sides, but as far as a unifying sound and vibe of what we know rock n roll to be...then yeah, I am pretty sure...

I know this will probably spiral into the history of r&r thread but I thought it began in the 40's..........jelly roll euphamisms.

Double entendres do not rock'n'roll make. You can trace the sound back to the jump blues era, but most people see the early 50's as the era of the first real rock'n'roll records.

I am thinking on the whole package....loud simple backbeat, loud guitar and piano as the lead instruments, subject matter of cars, booze, girls...young people buying the records and being naughty while they listened to them...the roots are eveywhere, true..but the whole kit and kaboodle, you know?

Doesnt the live music pre date the records? Like live hiphop 5 years before wax? Just sayin.
This Finnish style grew popular in the 60's and 70's. It grew out of 30's foxtrot and was perfected by "Pumppu-Veikot"-orchestra. The music is bad, like bad bad.

Where'd you hear that? Most of the people credited with making early rock'n'roll records were recording before that. That's why the "first" is so hard to nail down, because there are so many "transitional" records. Artists that were recording R&B, jump blues, blues, western swing and hillbilly music were all there developing bits and pieces of rock'n'roll all through the 40's and early 50's.
Taking it back earlier than "Carolina Girls," the Piedmont has it's own distinct flavor of the blues: very complicated and synchopated fingerpicking that's as much country music as it is Delta blues. I was talking with a friend whose grandfather remebers seeing these guys at shows in Tobacco Warehouses back in the day:
Pink Anderson
Scrapper Blackwell
and Blind Boy Fuller
Today, Cool John Ferguson holds down the same style. He mostly plays electric but is very much in the tradition:

Do the Math.
I would say the genres of rock n roll and southern soul were invented here
I dunno man, but I think you're leaving out something, I dunno maybe...
