Description

Southwest Shuffle: Pioneers of Honky Tonk, Western Swing, and Country Jazz This book documents an important period in country music history. In the 1930s and early 1940s, hundreds of thousands of people from the Southwest resettled in California, giving rise to a thriving country music scene that blended Western Swing, Cowboy, and Honky Tonk styles. The stories behind this musical movement are told through original interviews and archival research by Richard Kienzle. Kienzle's writing style reflects his long-standing passion for these musical styles, making the book a vibrant account of this pivotal period in country music history. By exploring the origins of the Bakersfield Sound, which emerged in the 1960s, Southwest Shuffle provides a unique insight into the evolution of country music.
