HOW BOB WILLS AND HIS FRIENDS MADE WESTERN MOVIES SWING presented by Matthew Barton

The New York Chapter of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections presents its December 2014 program: HOLLYWOOD TWO-STEP: HOW BOB WILLS AND HIS FRIENDS MADE WESTERN MOVIES SWING Presented by Matthew Barton “Singing cowboys didn’t make all of the music in the ‘B’ westerns of the 1930s and 1940s. Top Western Swing artists such as Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, Spade Cooley, the Light Crust Doughboys, Patsy Montana, Carolina Cotton, Tex Williams, Andy Parker and the Plainsmen, the Texas Rangers and others were regularly featured as added attractions in such films and turned in many classic performances. In this way, without even trying to, Hollywood documented the golden age of Western Swing for future generations to enjoy, and preserved many songs and band line-ups that went unrecorded during the two ‘Petrillo Bans’ of the 1940s. This presentation features rare film clips all of the artists named above and more.” MATTHEW BARTON has worked at the Library of Congress since 2003, first as a sound engineer and archivist, and since 2008, as the Curator of Recorded Sound at the Library’s Packard Campus for Audiovisual Conservation in Culpeper, Virginia. From 1996 to 2003, he was the production coordinator of the Alan Lomax Collection compact disc series issued by Rounder Records. He has written extensively on recorded music and sound, and is a contributor to the book The Ballad Collectors of North America: How Gathering Folksong Transformed Academic Thought and American Identity, published in 2012 by Scarecrow Press. Barton currently serves as President of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections.
