The term honky tonk has two meanings - it can be a tavern or club in the South which is comfortable for the common working man, a bit like a pub in the UK. It also describes the style of music played on the jukebox or by live bands. This week and next we'll hear classic and contemporary honky tonk artists and music including Don Rich, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Val Mindel and Emily Miller, and lots more.

Traditional folk musicians can't develop their style in a vacuum - they are always influenced by past masters.

This week we conclude our two-part feature “It Don't Mean a Thing...” with a focus on Western swing. Western swing was developed in the dance halls of Texas and in sharp contrast to old-time string bands, Western swing bands employed many more members, including horn sections and multiple fiddlers. These were needed to fill these massive halls with music for dancing. We'll hear classics from The Light Crust Doughboys, Milton Brown and his Musical Brownies and Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. We'll also hear new classics from Deborah Silver, Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel. “Take Me Back to Tulsa” … this week on The Sing Out!

America has exported many products to the world, and one of our finest gifts is music.
