Spade Cooley: KIng of Western Swing (1945)

*** (out of 4)

Warner short takes a look at the rising popularity of Space Cooley who mixed the country and swing genres. I guess we'd call this music bluegrass today but this short delivers us a couple performances as well as some funny visuals. For the most part this is just an extended music video with one setting being a country dance and another having Cooley playing both sides of a political rally. The music itself is pretty good with the catchy "Who Killed the Goose Who Laid the Golden Egg" really standing out. The rest of the tracks on the soundtrack and good but nothing comes close to that title. Cooley and his band members seem very relaxed on the screen and I really look forward to the other shorts they did.
