Western swing


Carl Cole & his Flint Hill Boys
Wikipedia - "Western swing is a style of popular music that evolved in the 1920s in the American Southwest among the region's popular Western string bands. Fundamentally an outgrowth of jazz, much Western swing is dance music with an up-tempo beat consisting of an eclectic combination of rural, cowboy, polka, and folk music, New Orleans jazz, or Dixieland, and blues blended with a jazzy 'swing' and played by a hot string band often augmented with drums, saxophones, pianos and, notably, the steel guitar."
