Back in September 2019, we discussed a provocative book: Nadine Hubbs' Rednecks, Queers and Country Music. A friend of mine was kind enough to share with me an amazing video by a 1930s country group officially called "The Prairie Ramblers," but better known as "The Sweet Violet Boys." Here is their rendition of a pretty risqué song titled "I Love My Fruit." (Disappointingly, the group's Wikipedia entry makes no reference to this aspect of their act.)
