Listen to the journey of "Rose", a Fender Stratocaster, through 1950s USA. Her story unfolds through the experiences of her owners.
Cliff, a country picker with Hank Williams, has a backstage musical encounter with a young Elvis. Josh, a songwriter recording with legendary producer Sam Phillips at Sun Studios, argues civil rights strategies with Martin Luther King. Zac, a young New York-based blues guitarist who works with Big Joe Turner and Muddy Waters, joins Buddy Holly during the final stages of his ill-fated Winter Dance Party tour in 1959.
This composite of Zelig meets Forrest Gump gives listeners insight into 1950s American social and music culture and a glimpse of the early forms of rock, country, and soul music that would revolutionize the youth of that generation.
