Bob Wills was the driving force behind Western Swing, a form of country & western that was broader in scope than the parent genre. A master at synthesizing styles, Wills brought jazz, hillbilly, boogie, blues, big-band swing, rhumba, mariachi, jitterbug music and more under his ecumenical umbrella. He has been called "the King of Western Swing" and "the first great amalgamator of American music." Wills grew up in a part of Texas where diverse cultures and forms of music overlapped. His enthusiasm and mastery were such that he assimilated disperate genres into what might best be termed American music. (Wills called it "Texas fiddle music.")

At least "Faded Love" had a few bars of it played at the beginning of this video. I love the music and the lyrics of "Faded Love" - next to "San Antonio Rose" by Bob and the band it's my favorite. For me, this song is one that sounds good no matter who sings it - just like "San Antonio Rose". Music like this is everlasting and when there's a pedal steel guitar added to the fiddles it can't beat. This little bio with testimonies by Bob Wills' fans is really specialThanks for posting. -Paula

A beautifully produced piece. Excellent work. We fly from UK to Turkey Texas each year to honour the master and enjoy his music being played as fresh as ever. Long live the music Bob Wills.
