Western Swing

Originating in the 1920s and 30s in the American West, this genre of music combines elements of jazz, blues, and country. The music is characterized by its upbeat tempo, lively rhythm, and the use of fiddles, guitars, and steel guitars. The lyrics often tell stories of the Wild West and the cowboy lifestyle. Western swing is known for its danceability and is often played at barn dances and honky-tonks.
