Like some downhome version of the Mills Brothers, the Sons of the Pioneers mixed Western swing, cowboy ballads, and sophisticated vocal harmonies to produce some of the biggest country-crossover hits of the 1930s. A band apart, the Sons were too jazzy to fit in with the cowboys and too Western to be accepted by fans of their true peers like the above-mentioned Millses or even the Boswell Sisters. Nonetheless, they did just fine for themselves, creating such timeless tunes as the stirring and wistful "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and the atmospheric, almost ghostly narrative "Cool Water," accounts of the cowboy lifestyle that went far beyond anything in the catalogs of Roy Rogers or Gene Autry.
