What was the nations very first rock and roll instrumental?

Asked by john65pennington (29273points) June 11th, 2011

It occured way back in 1956. It has stood the test of time and is as great today as the day it was recorded for King Records. Question: who is the artist and what is the name of the song? Feel free to post it here for all to hear.

None other than Bill Dogget’s Honkey Tonk

Actually, Boogie in the Dark by Jimmie Reed was put out in Dec 1953 so I think that would qualify as the first.
