Eastwood is an aficionado of [[jazz]]—particularly [[bebop]]—and [[blues]], [[Country music|country and western]] and classical music. He dabbled in music early on by developing as a boogie-woogie pianist and had originally intended to pursue a career in music by studying for a music theory degree after graduating from high school.<ref name="McGilligan114">[[#McGilligan|McGilligan]], p. 114</ref> In late 1959, Eastwood produced the album ''Cowboy Favorites'', released on the [[Cameo-Parkway Records|Cameo]] label,<ref name="McGilligan114" /> which included some classics such as [[Bob Wills]]'s "[[New San Antonio Rose|San Antonio Rose]]" and [[Cole Porter]]'s "[[Don't Fence Me In (song)|Don't Fence Me In]]". Despite his attempts to plug the album by going on a tour, it never reached the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].<ref name="McGilligan114" /> In 1963, Cameo producer [[Kal Mann]] told him that "he would never make it big as a singer".<ref name="McGilligan115">[[#McGilligan|McGilligan]], p. 115</ref> Nevertheless, during the off season of filming ''Rawhide'', Eastwood and [[Paul Brinegar]]{{snd}}sometimes joined by [[Sheb Wooley]]{{snd}}toured rodeos, state fairs, and festivals. In 1962, their act, entitled Amusement Business Cavalcade of Fairs, earned them as much as $15,000 a performance.<ref name="McGilligan115" /> Although he never made it as a major performing artist, he has passed on the influence to his son, Kyle, who is a professional jazz bassist and composer. An [[audiophile]], Eastwood owns an extensive collection of LPs which he plays on a Rockport [[Phonograph|turntable]]. His favorite musicians include saxophonists [[Charlie Parker]] and [[Lester Young]], pianists [[Thelonious Monk]], [[Oscar Peterson]], [[Dave Brubeck]], and [[Fats Waller]], and [[Delta blues]]man [[Robert Johnson]].<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Nick |last=Tosches |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/12/eastwood200812 |title=Nick Tosches on Clint Eastwood |magazine=Vanity Fair |access-date=September 8, 2012 |archive-date=August 28, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120828004832/http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/12/eastwood200812 |url-status=live }}</ref>
