This week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine we begin a two week feature focusing on music from the American Southwest. Many people think of Cowboy music as being the only music that came from the region. This week we will listen to some Cowboy music but also Western Swing, Blues, Native American, Singer-Songwriters and early Rock & Roll.
Join us for part one of our Southwestern Music Travelogue on the next Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
