\nTulsa Twist – Dickie McBride And The Village Boys<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are two very different examples of Western swing – a slow country ballad and a hot jazz inspired instrumental.<\/p>\n

Prior to starting his own band, The Village Boys, Dickie McBride was the guitarist and vocalist for Cliff Bruner’s<\/a> Texas Wanderers, a successful Western swing band based primarily out of Houston and Beaumont, Texas.\u00a0 In 1938 the band’s Decca recording of “It Makes No Difference Now” with McBride on the vocal became a country music best seller.\u00a0\u00a0 The song was composed by another big name in Western swing – Floyd Tilman.\u00a0 Its success helped Tilman land his own recording contract with Decca.\u00a0 When McBride revived the song for his own band the tune was given new lyrics and a modified title “New It Makes No Difference Now.”<\/p>\n

“Tulsa Twist” is a good example of the “swing” side of Western swing.<\/p>\n

Both of these sides were recorded in Dallas, Texas.<\/p>\n
