  • The Singing Cowboy in American Culture
    The Singing Cowboy In American Culture by Douglas B. Green f all the facets of American life, one of the few universal experiences which cuts across boundaries of age, social status, race, or location is that of sitting in a hushed theater, accompanying the crack of liix-guns with the O rhythmic chewing of stale popcorn, staring wide-eyed at some handsome cowpuncher either roughing up 'a scurrilous scoundrel or two or leaping from a thundering stallion on to a fastmoving freight or rampaging stagecoach. Ifthat rich and redolent experience was somehow missed, surely no one has not been at least aware of the heroics of Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke" or the Cart­ wrights of "Bonanza," two longtime staples of television. Perhaps no occupation has been more glamorized over the years than that of cowboy, rancher, frontiersman, prospector, or prairie lawman. It is a national legend and legacy, part of us all. It is a delightful myth we know to be a myth, one which our grandfathers helped create, one which we continue to preserve. Yet positive sentiments toward the halcyon years of the western film in the motion picture industry seem today to be scarce: western film historians look upon the whole genre of singing cowboys as an unhappy and unfortunate bastardization which diluted the purity of the classic action western, while music historians, in general, tend to look upon the genre with equal horror as a bastardization which not only diluted the purity of old time country music, but which also bathed it in such gaudy commercialism that it stripped the music of its inherent dignity.

Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 8 [2008], Iss. 1, Art. 3 “Physic Opera” On the Road: Texas Musicians in Medicine Shows “The stuff he was selling was black and evil-tasting,” recalled Texas blues and R&B legend Aaron Thibeaux ‘T-Bone’ Walker, “but it brought the people out!” The “stuff” Walker spoke of was Dr. Breeding’s Big B Tonic (or B and B Tonic). “Doc” Breeding pitched his nostrum in a traveling show that played Walker’s neighborhood in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas in 1925. “[The doctor] hired me and another boy, Josephus Cook, to ballyhoo for him,” Walker remembered, “and taught Seph and me to work up some patter about it and climb on the back of a panel truck to drum people in. I’d play and feed 9 jokes to Seph, and he’d start in to dance…Then we’d stack up the bottles, and Doc would come on.”1 Though the patent remedies hawked by Dr. Breeding and other theatrical medicine men and women may or may not have possessed any restorative powers, the entertainment they offered definitely lifted folks’ spirits. And, like T-Bone Walker, several of the state’s finest musicians, including the future “King of Western Swing,” Bob Wills, gained some of their earliest professional experience playing with “physic operas,” as medicine shows were sometimes called.

  • Jules Verne Allen
    Jules Verne Allen Jules Verne Allen was one of the early radio „singing cowboys,‟ who could claim to have actually worked as a horse wrangler and ranch hand. Although his recording career was brief, his radio performances and 1933 book entitled Cowboy Lore made him one of the most influential artists in the genre of western music. Born on April 1, 1883 in Waxahachie, Texas, Allen began working as a cattle handler at the age of ten. In the waning days of the open-range ranching era, he drove cattle throughout the west, herding them hundreds of miles to the major railroad stockyards. While working as a professional cowboy, he began to play guitar and sing the songs learned in the cow camps on the trail. Although his career would first lead him to work as a sheriff and a Texas Ranger, the folklore of cowboy music had a lasting influence. After a stint in the military during World War I, he decided to make music his profession. In the 1920s, as the population of America was experiencing a wave of fascination with all things western, Allen took to the radio airwaves performing the songs of his youth. Billing himself as “the Original Singing Cowboy,” he sang of the tough and rugged existence of a working cattle hand with the voice of experience. Gaining popularity, be began to broadcast from Texas stations including WOAI and KTSA in San Antonio, and WFAA in Dallas. He ventured further west to Los Angeles, California, the home of a burgeoning cowboy music scene increasingly focused on a romanticized, fictionalized western aesthetic.
