Southwest Shuffle documents an important period in country music history. During the ’30s and early ’40s, hundreds of thousands of “Okies,” “Arkies,” and other rural folks from around the Southwest resettled in California, in search of work. A country music scene quickly blossomed there, with performers playing Western Swing, Cowboy, and Honky Tonk country. After World War II, these styles rocked country music, leading to the innovations of ’60s performers like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard in creating the so-called “Bakersfield Sound.” These stories are based on original interviews and archival research by one of the most respected writers on this period of country history. Kienzle writes in a vibrant style, reflecting his long-time love for these musical styles.
