Bob Wills & Western Swing: Ed Ward's History of Rock & Roll
Ed Ward is back for a discussion of Bob Wills and Western Swing. This week, Ed and I pick up the history of country music where we left off after the Carter Family & Jimmie Rodgers episode and carry on to the 1930s emergence of a distinctive genre in Texas: Western Swing and the man, Bob Wills, who led it to the top of the pop charts, packed dance halls, TV and movies.
