Smokey Rogers sings the song, while Spade Cooley and his band play.
It's one of more than two thousand "soundies" produced between 1939 and 1947, meant to be played on a device called a Mills Panoram. For seven years they could be found in bars, night clubs, and other places where people would gather. Think of them as music videos, available for viewing at a dime a song. Other companies got into the production end also.
Cooley's band is on the swing end of western music, a particularly popular genre of music at the time this came out. Cooley spun this out into a short series of starring western roles.
