Southern Rock from Back In The Day!

Back in about 1988, I saw ZZ Top and .38 Special in concert together. Talk about being deaf in the morning. Luckily, I took earplugs along and used them after about a half hour into the concert. However, I still had the reverbs going off in my ears.
 
There was a young man from Lubbock, Texas back in the 50's that brought a new sound to rock 'n roll. Had he not been killed prematurely, I am sure that the British Invasion may not have happened. The BI happened because the youth at that time was looking for a new sound with rebellious over-tones and although this young man's music did not have the rebellious over-tones, it was definitely a new sound and thousands, if not millions of young people were just starting to catch onto his style. Of course, this is just my opinion.
