Tex Williams
Original movie publicity photo of Tex Williams (1917 – 1985) an American Western swing musician (from Ramsey, Illinois). He is best known for his talking blues style; his biggest hit was the novelty song, "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)", which held the number one position on the Billboard charts for sixteen weeks in 1947
Tex Williams, along with Spade Cooley and Bob Wills, was among the most popular bandleaders in the musical genre known as "western swing" in the 1940s and 1950s . His popularity led to Universal Pictures bringing him to Hollywood to make a series of musical western shorts in the late 1940s, and he and his band shot about a dozen of them before the series ended in 1952.

Bob Baker
Bob Baker (1910 - 1975) was a singer who had several starring roles as a singing cowboy in the late 1930s. Baker won a Universal Studios screen test in 1937 in competition against Leonard Slye (Roy Rogers), and became the studio's lead singing cowboy. He starred in a dozen pictures before suffering an injury and being demoted to secondary roles.
Bob Baker starred in the "B" western Courage of the West (1937) with Lois January. Fuzzy Knight worked with Baker as a sidekick on his first four films. Starting with The Last Stand (1938) Baker rode Apache, a pinto he had bought in Arizona. A well-trained horse, Apache tolerated his signature trick of vaulting over the horse's rear into the saddle. Between work on the sets, Baker had to tour and perform at movie theatres, in part to promote the pictures and in part to earn extra income. Bob Baker accompanied his singing with a Gibson Advanced Jumbo guitar. (Text from Ebay auction)

Peter Stanfield Horse Opera The Strange History of the 1930s Singing Cowboy University of Illinois Press 2002 (192) |
In this innovative take on a neglected chapter of film history, Peter Stanfield challenges the commonly held view of the singing cowboy as an ephemeral figure of fun and argues instead that he was one of the most important cultural figures to emerge out of the Great Depression. The rural or newly urban working-class families who flocked to see the latest exploits of Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter, and other singing cowboys were an audience largely ignored by mainstream Hollywood film. Hard hit by the depression, faced with the threat--and often the reality--of dispossession and dislocation, pressured to adapt to new ways of living, these small-town filmgoers saw their ambitions, fantasies, and desires embodied in the singing cowboy and their social and political circumstances dramatized in "B" Westerns. Stanfield traces the singing cowboy's previously uncharted roots in the performance tradition of blackface minstrelsy and its literary antecedents in dime novels, magazine fiction, and the novels of B. M. Bower, showing how silent cinema conventions, the developing commercial music media, and the prevailing conditions of film production shaped the "horse opera" of the 1930s. Cowboy songs offered an alternative to the disruptive modern effects of jazz music, while the series Western--tapping into aesthetic principles shunned by the aspiring middle class--emphasized stunts, fist fights, slapstick comedy, disguises, and hidden identities over narrative logic and character psychology. Singing cowboys also linked recording, radio, publishing, live performance, and film media. Entertaining and thought-provoking, "Horse Opera" recovers not only the forgotten cowboys of the 1930s but also their forgotten audiences: the ordinary men and women whose lives were brightened by the sights and songs of the singing Western.

Reimer Hinrichs Auf der Suche nach Johnny Cash Eine Biographie Münster: Lit 2004 (349 ill., 21 cm) [= Texte zur Geschichte der Rockmusik - 1] ISBN: 3-8258-7360-9 |
In der vorliegenden Biographie des Countrysängers Johnny Cash versucht der Berliner Psychoanalytiker Reimer Hinrichs, die charismatische Persönlichkeit einer Legende zu erklären, die schon zu Lebzeiten von Freunden als "larger than life" bezeichnet wurde. Der Autor lernte Johnny Cash 1972 in Nashville kennen. Neben weiteren persönlichen Kontakten und Interviews, die Teil des Anhangs sind, stützt sich seine Biographie auf eine 30jährige Beobachtung der Johnny-Cash-Karriere, auf 14jährige Recherche, die u.a. durch die langjährigen Periodika vier verschiedener internationaler Fanclubs gespeist wird, auf zahlreiche Besuche der "Johnny Cash-Show" von 1972 bis 1997, sowie, seit 1997, auf das Internet. Das Buch enthält neben dem Kern der biographischen Kapitel ausserdem eine tabellarische Chronologie, ein Verzeichnis der Ehrungen des Sängers, fünf dokumentarische Anhangskapitel sowie ein ausführliches Quellenverzeichnis. Neben der Bemühung um Genauigkeit im inhaltlichen steht im interpretativen Bereich dieser Biographie die kritische Liebe des Autors zur Countrymusik ebenso im Mittelpunkt wie der tiefe Respekt vor einer menschlich und musikalisch ganz und gar aussergewöhnlichen Persönlichkeit, deren gefährliches Charisma Kris Kristofferson mit den Worten beschrieben hat:"He is like a coyote walking through a poodle party."

Saginaw Valley Boys
Vintage, original photo of a small country music band with all their musical instruments when they visited WMDN Radio in Midland, Michigan.
All their names are written at the bottom and I'm pretty sure the name of their band is spelled wrong. They spelled it SGINWA but I'm pretty sure it was SAGINAW VALLEY BOYS from Saginaw, Michigan.
The names are: RAY / JIM H. / KENNETH SMITH / DON H. / JEAN SMITH
Ray is at the keyboard, Jim on the accordion, Kenneth with the fiddle, Don with the acoustic guitar and Jean with the cello that is bigger than him!
