		The distinction between honky tonks, saloons, and dancehalls was often blurred, especially in cowtowns, mining districts, military forts, and oilfields of the West.
		Honky tonks were rough establishments, mostly in the Deep South and southwest, that served alcoholic beverages to working class clientele.
		In the 1970s, outlaw country music was the most popular genre, and its brand of rough honky tonk gradually influenced the rock-influenced alternative country in the 1990s.

		Perhaps the most 'classic' country sound, honky tonk is a style rich with twangy vocals, moaning guitars, and lyrics that alternate between happy-go-lucky (Hank Williams' "Hey, Good Lookin'"), darkly quirky (Al Dexter's "Pistol Packin' Mama"), and totally down-and-out (Ted Daffan's "Born to Lose").
		The music developed during the late '30s but was popularized over the next couple decades by such icons as Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb Pierce, Kitty Wells, and Ernest Tubb, who's 1942 hit "Walking the Floor Over You" burst the honky-tonk doors wide open.
		Though honky tonk lost some of its edge with the advent of the Nashville Sound in the '60s, it has remained full and strong, and it still serves as the basis for much of today's "neo-traditional" country music as played by stars like George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Brad Paisley.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Honky-Tonk Heroes: Photos by John Carrico
		Before the days when jaded hipsters stood 20 feet back from the stage and smoked, before the Beatles or hippies or punk or Stevie Ray, there was a music scene here that was at least above-average (hell, before the term "music scene" was even invented).
		Regardless of how much longtime Austinites bemoan changes to the city and pine for the good old days, there's little arguing that the one thing that continues to get better and better here in Austin is the live music scene.
		It's the kind of thing that we take for granted here, while a town with a storied musical past like Nashville or Memphis doesn't enjoy half the live music that we do here.
