Hillbilly Blues

Show 92: Hillbilly Blues, Pt. 2: The Western Swing and Honky-Tonk Era

This one lives where country music still has dirt under its nails and the blues still shows through the seams. By putting Wills, Tubb, Hank, and Monroe in the same room, honky-tonk, western swing, bluegrass, and hillbilly song all kept drinking from the same blues-fed creek.
