I keep coming back to this tune, can't get enough,, I never heard it before this clip was posted. Sure seems like it inspired rock and roll songs in later decades
It sure did! Western Swing was one of the roots of Rock & Roll. And that is precisely the reason Bob Wills is in both the Country and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame.
cdbpdx please keep posting this great music! Thanks heaps!
@gringoflamenco This is a cover song of the 1928 song " Keep Knocking and You Can't Get In" by Boodle It Wiggins. The most famous version of this song was in 1957 with Lil Richard "Keep a Knockin'"

Wills and the Playboys were ahead of their time. This early stuff rocks

Western Swing - Bob Wills was the best at it, IMO.
