![]() ![]() Wednesday, November 12, 2008![]() This collection may forever be the ultimate western swing anthology. 'Okeh Western Swing' first appeared in 1982 as a 2 LP set on the Epic label. It was an early hit of the re-issue genre and demonstrated that there was a market selling back-catalog material to listeners who were not alive for the initial releases. All of the material would have first seen release on 78. The first couple of tracks by Bernard and Miller are pop records that influenced the origins western swing. The rest are by great dance and recording bands from the southwest U.S.A. in the middle of the 20th century. Bob Wills of course, but many others as well, both legendary and obscure.
