Deep Water - Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys

[whiplash96]

My generation knows nothing of good music.. Noone makes anything that can compare with this anymore.

[righteousniteowl]

Loved it, I believe that's Alfred E Newman doing the vocal.

[ChopTopMopar]

If your looking for a new bob wills cheak out wayne hancock

[glipzik]

Sure glad Carl Smith covered this song. Difference in day and night.

[medicnurse4u]

Were any of you aware that CHER's mother played with Bob Wills band?

[SteelguitarLane]

What were his two tunings?

[ClarkeWright]

Bobby Koefer on steel guitar was and still is one of a kind.

[rygertheodd]

who's the lefty?

[guitarmaniax]

@rygertheodd Cotton Whittington on the guitar

[guitarmaniax]

@rygertheodd Joe Holley on the lefty fiddle. Both he and Cotton Whittington turned ther instruments over and played lefty with the strings strung right handed

[rockyrmt]

there was this guy in gradeschool - '70s - who alway useto do the "AHHH" thing..just like Bob Wills. everyone love it, but i just had this feeling it wasn't original -parents probably had a stack of Bob Wills recordings..LOL

Johnnie Lee took the Tulsa market when Bob left for California, lured by the huge defense industry audiences, where he was the No. One draw at company sponsored dances. Manufacturers and ship builders were initially bewildered when workers voted overwhelmingly for the Playboys to play those dances where tickets went to those who worked a certain amount of overtime.

With Bob's creation of Texas Swing & Billy Jack launching the first swing based True Rock and Roll 4/4, their influence is forever

[guambetty]

Tommy Duncan or Joe Andrews, they both do just fine. That`s Joe Andrews---I saw enough of Tommy Duncan to know what he looks like. Love all of Bob wills and his Playboys----thanks!!

[hellachrisok]

Bob has some awesome dance moves haha

[TifaLockhart2]

Aw, I remember my mother used to play this song and dance around when she cleaned house when I was very little. :)

[dgtxdutch]

HARDCORE! THANKS radiobob for posting!

[radiobob805]

You are right. That is Joe Andrews. I was confusing him with Lee Ross who worked with him.

[JRH22BFD]

@radiobob805 I love Bob Wills' music but I can't stand him. The falsetto cackling, the hokey gestures and silly pointing at the soloists. He was a clown onstage and always detracts from what is going on. He always generates the same response from me: Thanks, Bob, but get out of the way. He ruined his own stuff. Sort of hard to believe.

@JRH22BFD What's wrong with having a good time, and bringing a smile to the faces of many people, including mine? Don't you have a sense of humor?

@JRH22BFD

No doubt....he was GAY

[rockinredneck57]

@JRH22BFD Sure. That's why he's a LEGEND, in the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Texas Music Hall of Fame because he ruined his own music. That makes perfect sense to me. Sure.

[saucerblock]

uh, thats Joe Amdrews, not Lee......

[dgtxdutch]

@saucerblock In my book, Lee Ross could hold his own with them. I mean he wrote My Shoes Keep Walkin Back To You, Curtain In The Window & Heart To Heart Talk. Nuff Saif with them three KILLERS!

[saucerblock]

@dgtxdutch Dude, I love Lee Ross!

[radiobob805]

That is not Tommy Duncan in this video. Tommy left in 1948. This was done in the early 50s. I believe that's Lee Andrews on this video Singing Deep Water.

[mrfiddleman]

He doesn't have the words right, either.

[callipygicus]

FWIW, that's not Tommy Duncan.

[76park]

Tommy Duncan was great!

[CommercialVehicle]

AAAAHHHHH!

[edavidsalways]

Awesome, AWESOME video! So glad it's out there!

Thanx,

....

[countymounties77]

Thanks!

[BigRedMcCool]

These guys were amazing! Wonderful!

[catmantoo53]

Thanks, radiobob, for posting this video. I think it's one of Bob's better tunes.
