I'm a little late with this one. This band was at the Cactus Theater on September 4, 2025.
I am a West Texas girl & I am a huge Bob Wills fan. The town of Turkey, TX claims as a native son & I think he claimed it too, though he was not born there. He had a band full of fiddles (the Texas Playboys) & they make me happy I never saw him perform live but I've heard his music all my life. And a whole ton of country singers have covered his music. Waylon Jennings sang a song called 'Bob Wills is Still the King'..."it don't matter who's in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king." He's been gone 50 years but he's still considered the King of Country Swing.
This band is a tribute band & they are really good. Many of the members are even older than I am & trust me, those boys were rocking. I tend to think the younger generation thinks they invented music & boy are they wrong.
The band 'Asleep at the Wheel' recorded an album a few years ago called 'Ride with Bob' & it's possibly my favorite album ever.
Ah-Hah!
