Last week we heard a collection of classic and contemporary swing. This week we’ll focus on Swing Music from the country. The music traveled nationwide on records and radio and influenced players, many who never traveled to the Swing capitals of New York City and Chicago to travel their own path. We’ll hear music from Asleep at the Wheel, Floyd Domino, The Light Crust Doughboys, Bob Wills and many more. Swing your partner … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
