Red Woodward and the Red Hawks were on the Dallas-Fort Worth country music scene in the late 1940s we've found. A 1949 article indicates they were on radio station WBAP in Fort Worth, but using the name Cedar Ridge Boys. Their show aired at 8:30 each day for fifteen minutes.

The article goes on to explain they came into commercial fame when they were sponsored by the Hawk Brand Work Clothes. Under that name, the Red and the Red Hawks recorded eight sides on the Signature record label. It was reported that their most popular tune was "You'll Pay With Your Heart" that was written by Ray Lawyer.
