Decca Records: Country in the 1950s and 60s

Surveying Decca's country catalog at the midpoint of the 20th century reveals the genre's evolution from rural music to an inclusive art form that drew on other styles, like rock and pop, to broaden its growing fan base. Included here are some of the period's biggest hits by Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Kitty Wells, all of which straddled the line between traditional and modern country.
