This week's Backbeat features the first American-born guitar hero, a calypso song recorded in Indiana, what is reputed to be the first country feminist song, some slick walking by the Golden Gate Quartet and the Everly Brothers tell a tale of a disastrous first date. Not the one where their date fell asleep, the one where she went to jail.
