"This could be the first record to use the words 'rock'n'roll'." No, there was a fad for those during 1947 on, such as Wild Bill Moore's "Rock And Roll." Most of the musicians who participated in the fad for songs about rocking during 1947-1951 were "black"; in 1950-1951 you had stuff like Kay Starr's "Oh Babe," Bill Haley's "Rocket 88," and Ernie Ford's "Rock City Boogie," which helped lead to the way Hardrock and Elvis sounded in '54.
@warmhurt You're so right. It goes back to 1904. Thanks for the inspiration towards research. Love all the old Sun Records! Thanks for posting this one.
