…until a true Rock'n'Roll style emerged(or was appropriated)as pointed out in Carl Perkins' "Cat Clothes". It was only when the earliest examples of late 60's hippie "Country Rock" came along…The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco, New Riders, etc, that Country and Western style was embraced outside of traditional Country and Western culture. That style template has been referenced over and over since.

The Byrds were an interesting band that went through several incarnations. The early Byrds were interested musically in the blend of folk and Beatles music, so much of their early couture was influenced by post '64 Beatles.

However, once Gram Parsons joined The Byrds, though he's from FL, his country music influence helped to canonize the western shirt and the Nudie suit for that matter.

Born 100 years ago, Cordell Jackson was an American guitarist thought to be the first woman to produce, engineer, arrange and promote music on her own rock and roll music label.
Jackson founded the Moon Records label in Memphis in 1956. Unable to break into the Sun label's stable of male artists, she received the advice and assistance of RCA Records' Chet Atkins in forming this new label to release her music. She began releasing and promoting on the label singles she recorded in her home studio, serving as engineer, producer and arranger. The artists recorded included her and a small family of early rock and roll, rockabilly, and country music performers she recruited from several Southern states.
Her Moon Records label was the oldest continuously operating label in Memphis at the time of her death in 2004. The 50s Rock on the Moon of Memphis, Tennessee + an Oddity, a compilation album of the label's 1950s singles, was released on vinyl in the early 1980s and was later sold on compact disc until her death in 2004.
She died in Memphis in 2004, aged 81.
