Again, more to follow if there's any interest at all. I can talk at length on this subject, but will do so only others want to as well.

Narrowing it down to 48 to 56 seems like having a war on two fronts cause there is a lot of good music before and after that time frame to compete with. I don't know if you are going to get technical with Country music versus Western Swing, but the Tiffany Transcriptions were records before '48. And '57 had hits by Elvis, the Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, and "The Killer" - Jerry Lee Lewis. Even Marty Robins had a hit in 57 with "A White Sports Coat (and a Pink Carnation)" and if that single wasn't awesome enough he releases "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" in '59. Sorry for the bad news, but that album shot your little theory right between the eyes.
