Milton Brown and the Founding of Western Swing (Music in American Life)

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Milton Brown And The Founding Of Western Swing appeared quite some time ago but deserves ongoing mention as a very special, unique guide essential for understanding the history of that brand of American music termed 'western swing'. Brown and his band predated Bob Wills' first band by a year and began a blend of country music, jazz and blues which took hold during the Depression. Enjoy a coverage which blends biographical sketches with a history of the style's development and growth.
