'Hillbilly Hollywood' is the first serious look at the origins of country & Western style in California in the 1930s and '40s and the stories of the tailors Nudie and Turk. We may think of Nashville as the country & Western capital of America, but L.A. had more hillbilly singers at work in the early years--in the movies, at the recording studios and on C&W radio shows. The style adopted by these music pioneers, a colorful mix of cowboy and show business, still defines fancy Western wear. Book cover has real rhinestones on a black cowboy-shirt-like cloth background and a die-cut frame over vintage photograph. Winner of many design awards.

For many years, movie audiences have carried on a love affair with the American West, believing Westerns are escapist entertainment of the best kind, harkening back to the days of the frontier. This work compares the reality of the Old West to its portrayal in movies, taking an historical approach to its consideration of the cowboys, Indians, gunmen, lawmen and others who populated the Old West in real life and on the silver screen. Starting with the Westerns of the early 1900s, it follows the evolution in look, style, and content as the films matured from short vignettes of good-versus-bad into modern plots.
