The quintessential story of America’s most joyous dance music. Western swing got its start “where the west begins” in a ramshackle dancehall in Fort Worth, Texas during the depths of the Great Depression. It evolved with a spongelike ability to absorb a myriad of musical styles from black, white, rural and urban influences to create an intoxicating gumbo. This groundbreaking documentary film traces its origins, development and legacy utilizing original and contemporary voices from a Who’s Who of legendary stars and respected historians.
