Search - Western Swingin' :: Western Swing

2011 three CD collection that focuses on the golden age of Western Swing, from the '30s through to the '50s. The infectious sound of Western Swing, which brought string-band instrumentation to jazz- and blues-based repertoire, had its origins in Texas and soon spread nationwide. The set is divided into three themes: Disc One covering the hits and evergreens; Disc Two exploring Jazz-derived repertoire, and Disc Three doing the same for the Blues, a genre which increasingly attracted the Western Swing bands. Titles like "Good Rockin' Tonight" would enjoy renewed popularity when covered by Elvis Presley and other Rockabilly cats. Future Noise.
