If you do, you'll probably enjoy this musical Universal short, which offers various swing versions of hillbilly music of the era, the sort of music that would, within half a decade, evolve into "western swing" and be the largest genre of music for a bit in the US.In the meantime, this lively short involves some variety acts, including bands, dancing lasso artists, a rough-and-tumble dance act, and a young man who falls asleep while reading a book on how to read a band. It's clearly intended for Universal's neighborhood and small town audiences, where such artists were, if not more popular than better-remembered crooners than Bing Crosby, more likely to be considered as their primary audiences .... and grateful for the attention.
