Listen Later

The audience for country music in the years following the World War II was predominently male and many of the records were destined for the juke boxes that thrived in the bars and watering holes where this working class audience gathered. This week on the program we'll sample some classic honky tonk music from the late 1930s until today. We'll hear Kitty Wells, Hank Snow, Buck Owens, Webb Pierce and of course, Hank Williams. We'll also hear more contemporary tunes from The Byrds, Emmylou Harris and Asleep at the Wheel. Let's go Honky Tonkin' … this week on The Sing Out!
