@@stewartfenton7660 Well Bob started out with Milton who I haven’t heard as much as Bob, but everyone acknowledges Milton and the Brownies as the ground breaking band of Western Swing. I was born in Tulsa and my father said a lot of people really liked Johnny Lee Wills after he took over when Bob left Cains for the west coast. I had the opportunity to put together the New Texas Playboys in Ft Worth in the 80s while they were trying to produce Deep Within My Heart, the Bob Wills life story and just like Johnny Gimble told me Diane Wills might be hard to work with, Johnny was on board to produce the group for Warner Brothers West, and she and her sisters were ok at first and then just went sideways. So it’s a long sad story, that I haven’t mentioned until now since most are gone. But no matter that movie would be a hit if done right.

Leo Fender was big on this music. he gave the prototype for the Strat to Eldon shamblin who was at the time Wills' guitarist and band manager. These guys saw themselves more as part of Jazz and tried to be up to date. Unlikle almost everyone of their location and generation, Wills was in favor of rock and roll, he loved it as you can see with Billy Jack Wills' Bottle Babby Boogie even thouse these guys were more Swing era generation players

This is wills well past his peak just before his health as well as changing musical taste was going to put his band into a further nose dive. You want to hear a good Wills band you go get the liberty recordings in 1961 or 2 just a year before this, or any of the recordings Wills Made for Columbia from the late 1930s to 1947 or the Mercury Recordings in the late 40s and early 50s. This is nice, but the level of musicianship here and singing is below what Wills could have offered his audiences from 1938 to 1953 or 60-61

oh most actual recordings of Wills band before this, even the 1961-62 Liberty records sessions with a few of these guys were much better than this. None of Bob's great fiddlers like Jessie Ashlock, Louie Tierney, THE GREAT JOE HOLLEY appear here, nor do his great vocalist THOMAS ELMER DUNCAN, nor does THE GREAT JOHNNY GIMBLE who played fiddle and electric mandolin, nor do any of the great horn players who worked for Wills. This is nice, but this is kind of droopy and second or third rate compared to the recordings Wills made from the late 1930s until around 1960. This is the band starting to decline as this music was outmoded, and Wills health and his perrenial drinking problems were dragging it down.

yeah first time I seriously listen to Wills when the Anthology came out around 1971, first thought was this man must have made a lot of money. In 1945 he was the biggest grossing music act in the USA. Lots of band leaders in all forms of music are like that. the leader just knows what he is going to call and you better know what is going to be played from the cure, although Wills or Tomky duncan would usually announce the tune first. I think more than 300 different musicans have been documented playing for Wills and at least 150 appeared on his recordings

If you had talent then Bob Wills would get it all out of you. Plain and simple. They let the music speak for itself.

Somewhere on YT is a later color TV clip c.1966 of what had to be the last iteration of Wills' legendary band. Wills was a loyal customer of Leo Fender going back to the 1940's and would not allow his players to play non Fender equipment on stage,so this clip is almost a catalog shot of 1960's Fender amps and guitars. And for all the OCD gearheads, the mikes for Bob and the other fiddle player are 1950's Sennheiser Labor W models, beyond uber rare even in 1963. And then there's all that great Bob Wills music...................................

Thank you and Fender loved this music and often designed his instruments to the desires of Western swing players like Eldon Shamblin, Wills' long time guitarist, band manager and arranger often giving Wills band members prototype of new instruments and equipment to test out on the road. This band is actually a less loud, less electric/metal sounding band than the Playboys band in the immediate post WWII period best captured in the Tiffany Transcriptions. Other musicians like Rose Maddox said this was the loudest band she ever heard, in the 40sl. This is these guys 15-20 years after their hot period with really nobody else but Wills left over from the glory days in the late 1930s and 1940s when they had big national hits

Leo Fender was a fan of this and other Western Swing bands and originally crafted his solid bpdy electric instruments for Western Swing. The first Strat was given by Fender to Eldon Shamblin who played guitar for Wills in the 30s and 40s and would return and come back across the late 40s and 50s and sometimes managed the band. the great Rose Maddox said the playboys band of the 1940s was the loudest band she ever heard.

Google Junior Barnard, Wills great guitarist on and off from 46 to 49. He did his own electronics to make his archtop guitar have a total metal sounding electric sound. These guys were very modern and not at all old fashioned, and not at all conservative. Wills took a big stand in the 1950s saying Rock and Roll was just younger people doing what he had been doing all along.

In the mid 1930s Wills was chased out of Texas by W Lee O Daniel who later became governor. His success as a band leader came entirely after he left when he first lived in Oklahoma and later after 1940 when he moved to California. He did move back to Dallas in the 1950s briefly and had a big club called the Ranch House in Dallas. It failed--Wills adoration of alcohol was a big problem in his life and career--and Wills sold his club to a shady character you may have heard of called Jack Ruby.

+Russ Tolman is correct. Eldon Shamblin is playing a Fender Jaguar here, not a Jazzmaster. Note narrow pickups and chrome control plates, clearly visible at 7:55. And that means that even if Leo Fender gave Shamblin the very first Jaguar (and he might have -- this was Leo's favorite band, and Shamblin got the first custom-color Strat, among other things), this can't be any earlier than 1962 or so.

Rohan Dawson This was not the first band to play Western Swing. In my opinion the first true Western Swing band would probably be the Light Crust Doughboys with Milton Brown as the leader. Milton Brown and Bob Wills kind of co-founded the style. Wills later formed his own band (Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, featured in this video).The predominate instruments or "vital elements" are the fiddle and pedal steel guitar. If you have any more questions just ask. I gave you a very brief history of the style. Lol

Yeah wills was an outspoken supporter of Rock and Roll when most people of his age period let along in the music business were condemning . There is one clip from a movie they did in the early 1940s where you can see Bob Wills do the Moon Walk!

So who is the fiddle player and vocalist alongside Bob Wills?
@writerrad
@writerrad 6 жыл бұрын
Vocalists--when he didnt have a standard vocalist like THE GREAT THOMAS ELMER DUNCAN, he would let any band member brade enough sing. On this show he has bass player George Andrews (who also fiddled) and his brothers Luke and Billy Jack sing

Bob into's it as 'Rose of Old Pawnee' at about 1:58. Have many Wills albums, but have never heard it before. Prefer his hot western swing style over this straight two-step ballad style.

Bob Wills was a drunk! He had great musicians & he was a good fiddle player but every video & recording that I have ever seen, it seems he has to be the center of attention.
@ronniebishop2496
@ronniebishop2496 3 жыл бұрын
Well there’s a real good reason for that and that’s because people wouldn’t even come to the show if they knew he wasn’t going to be there, because he was the center of attention for me, and Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and just about every musician in country and western music. That’s your answer. lol. I think you just made the dumbest remark I’ve ever heard proving you know nothing about this lol. Nothing.

He was one many drinking entertainers. Certainly insecure, he needed the attention. He put together some great music with some very good musicians. The playboys ended up in Roseville CA with Billy Jack. Tiny Moore was part of that band. You will see tiny with The New Riders of the Purple Sage and Commander Cody.
