Rounder and the Big Boogie Chicken talk about one of the most important honky tonk labels of the postwar era, 4-Star Records, who were based out of Pasadena, and put out both Country AND Western music. They trace the story of the World's Most Colorful Hillbilly Band, learn about the joys of life in Pipe City, discuss the taming of country music by Nashville, and propose that rock and roll was perhaps invented by fruit-picking migrant workers during the Dust Bowl.
