00:01There was a song that came on the radio, a guitar instrumental, and it changed everything.
00:13Link Wray, it's rock and roll.
00:14Rumble, yeah, that's the one.
00:17Rumble.
00:18Hey, Rumble!
00:20Rumble had the power to help me say, fuck it, I'm gonna be a musician.
00:28And then I found out that he was an Indian.
00:35The music that we know here in the United States is fully supported by input from Native and Indigenous people.
00:45Mr. Randy Casiel!
00:47Randy had become one of the most influential heavy metal drummers in the world.
00:52This is Jesse Ed Davis.
00:54I just particularly fell in love with Jesse Edwin Davis.
00:57He was with Taj Mahal, and Taj's album is what spurred me to rock more.
01:01And here's your rockin' chair lady, Mildred Bailey.
01:05From 16 to 20 years old, that's the only thing I listened to was Mildred Bailey.
01:09I just said, I want to learn how to sing like her.
01:12Figuring out that these people were Indians, and then we started to ask ourselves, why didn't anyone else know that?
01:19There was this key expression, be proud you're an Indian, but be careful who you tell.
01:27All of a sudden, I was talking about Native American issues and big time television.
01:31And all of a sudden, everything disappeared.
01:37From Charlie Patton to Link Wray, Robbie Robertson invented the genre.
01:41Jimi Hendrix was the best in his field. Jesse Ed Davis, everybody wanted him.
01:44Well, that's interesting, isn't it?
01:46This has gone too long under the radar.
