Tracing the singing cowboy's roots in the performance tradition of blackface minstrelsy and its literary antecedents in novels, magazine fiction, and the novels of B M Bower, this title shows how silent cinema conventions, the developing commercial music media, and the prevailing conditions of film production shaped the 'horse opera' of the 1930s.
