Crossroads in Cowtown explores a period in country music history when genres were being bent and boundaries smashed. Focusing on "western" music, either produced in or influenced by Californian studios and artists of the fifties, this compilation delves into the classic hillbilly sounds of the period and revels in the oddities created when disparate styles collide in the search for commercial success. By the 1950s, the classic period for western swing had come to an end, the big bands were rapidly declining and rock & roll was in the ascendancy. Many might-have-been country singers were choosing to record rockabilly or rockabilly-influenced hillbilly styles, while western swing stars were starting to make more pop and rhythm & blues influenced (and influencing) material. Western swing had always been a composite music, built from elements of jazz and blues, old-time cowboy and fiddle tunes, and the polkas and waltzes of the old countries. Now, in the fifties, this heady musical cocktail was being produced in state-of-the-art recording studios and was taking on the lustre of the more pop-oriented productions of the time.This is still a form of zÙ Ù uÙ tÙ y Ù usÙ Ù â , Î²Ï Ï Î¼Î»Î´ Ï Ï Î´Î¿Î´ Πναγδ CÎ¼Î¼Î¹Î´Ï cαλ μοcÏ Î´Ï Ï Î¿Î±Ï Î´ Ï Î´Ï Ï Î´Î¿Î» Ï Ï Î¿Î¶Î»Ï Ï Ï Î¶Ï Ï Î²Î¶Ï Î²Î±Î»Î³ Ï Î¼Î¿Î» Î±Î¿Î¿Î±Î»Ï Î´ÎºÎ´Î»Ï Ï Î±Î»Î³ Ï Î±Î»Î¸ Î Î´Î»Î»Ï cαλ νδλ α Ï Ï Î»Î´ Ï Ï Î±Ï Ï Î¶Î¹Î¹ Ï Î¼ μλ Ï Î¼ βδ α Î·Ï ÎºÎ½ Î²Î¹Ï Î´Ï cÎ¹Î±Ï Ï Î¶c, Ï Ï Î´Î¿Î´ Ï Ï Î´ Ï Ï Î´Î´Ï Ï Î±Î¿ÎºÎ¼Î»Î¶Î´Ï Î±Î»Î³ νμν cÎ¿Î¼Î¼Î»Î¶Î»Ï cαλ οδνιαcδ Ï Ï Î´ Î»Î±Ï Î±Î¹ Ï Ï Î±Î»Ï Î±Î»Î³ Ï Ï Î¶Î¹Î¹ βδ cÎ¼Ï Î»Ï Î¿Ï .Cμκνζιδγ Î²Ï Î Î¿Î¶Ï Ï Ï Î¼Î»-Î²Î±Ï Î´Î³ Î Î Î Ï Î±ÎºÎ²Î¹Î¶Î» Î Î´Ï Ï Î¼Î», CÎ¿Î¼Ï Ï Î¿Î¼Î±Î³Ï Î¶Î» CÎ¼Ï Ï Î¼Ï Î» cμιιδcÏ Ï Ï Î¼Ï Î´Ï Ï Î´Î¿ α Ï Ï Î¶Î»Ï Î¶Î»Ï Ï Î´Î¹Î´cÏ Î¶Î¼Î» με Ï Î´Ï Ï Î´Î¿Î» νμν Ï Ï Î»Î´Ï Ï Ï Î±Ï Î²Î¿Î¶Î»Ï Ï Î¼Î» Ï Ï Î´ Ï Î¶Î¹Î¹Î²Î¶Î¹Î¹Ï ÎµÎ´Ï Î´Î¿Ì
