The Rise Of an Industry(1930s)

groupDeep in the throes of the Great Depression, more Americans than ever took solace in the free entertainment provided by radio. As a result, Barn Dance shows modeled after[1] the Grand Ole Opry filled the airwave across rural America. By the end of the decade, however, the popularity of fiddle and string band music began to wane and was gradually replaced by singer/songwriters like Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family, and Roy Acuff.

Meanwhile, in Texas, parallel musical trends were developing. The myth of the Old West helped creat "singing cowboys" like Gene Autry, while Bob Wills began perfecting a jazz-influenced style of country he dubbed "western-swing."

Other Noteworthy Artists include:
The Delmore Brothers
Bradley Kincaid
Patsy Montana
J.E. Mainer
Pee Wee King
The Sons of the Pioneers
Roy Rogers

一个工业的崛起(1930s)

乡村音乐

深陷于经济大萧条，越来越多的美国人在电台提供的免费娱乐节目中找寻安慰。Barn Dance模仿Grand Ole Opry使自己的音乐在美国乡村的广播中流传。30年代末期，小提琴和弦乐渐渐被象Jimmie Rodgers，卡特家族和Roy Acuff这类歌手/作词家所替代。

同时，在德州与音乐并行的一些时尚也开始发展起来。“古老的西部”的神话导致了“唱歌的牛仔”Gene Autry，Bob Wills则尝试于一种爵士乐化的乡村音乐并被称为是“western-swing”。
