The Great Depression was accompanied by six years of drought in the Great Plains, bringing economic chaos to the largely rural population of the United States. Against this backdrop, entertainment took on a life-saving role, providing an inexpensive escape from the hard realities of day-to-day existence. Film makers realized the entertainment potential of combining westerns with music, and a generation of warbling cowboys was born. Legendary Singing Cowboys tells the stories of these musical pioneers, from Gene Autry to Tex Ritter to Roy Rogers.
This top-quality book and full-length compact disc paint a picture of the glory years of the singing movie cowboys, who redefined film making and altered the history of country music. Listen to some of the finest cowboy songs recorded as you learn about these musical gunslingers of yesteryear.
