This is a great song. Western Swing like Bob Wills, Tommy Duncan, Moon Mullican, Cliff Bruner mixed blues and country and foreshadowed rock 'n' roll. No doubt that Western Swing was the forerunner of rockabilly and rock 'n' roll.

This is my favorite Bob Wills tune. Clearly - I came looking for it!
-
Bob's influence spanned twice as far as Ernest's, And Tommy's influence as a singer was every bit as broad as Ernest's. Ernest was in awe of Tommy and Bob........

Amazing !!

...and Chuck Berry says he based his first hit "Maybelline" on a Wills' tune (Ida Red)

Wow, Yeah even white country boys in the ´30s made experiments with the Blues. There is a line from Bob Willis to Chuck and Elvis and even to the early Dylan. In the Middle, you can hear the influence on Elvis "Milcow Blues Boogie". It´s good to hear, that the music was´nt that segregated like the society.

Raymond: the basis of my comment stems from a few factors. For example, Bob Wills/Playboys were some of the very first to use electric amplified guitars and guitar solos from 1936 onwards, prolific use of classic blues numbers, hard-drivin rhythms and so on. The guitar tones on some of this early stuff is "hot" meaning slightly overdriven tube amps, which was way ahead of the times. The prolific use of guitar solos in Wills music is also a foreshadowing of rock n roll.

U just taught me something I didn't know!! Thank U!! I need to read up on Bob Wills. YouTube is so cool to bring all this knowledge and discussion together! My best to you and yours for the Holidays!

Bob Wills was a genius and way ahead of his time. He ought to be viewed as one of the fathers of rock and roll.

I'm not sure about that yet....He definitely had an ear for good music. This is a B-side...He was selling songs after WWII and making people dance and feel good. But, he wasn't Ernest Tubb. Maybe equal?? They were business men 1st. I think. Should live through time I hope...
