Life And Times Of Bob Wills
Bob WiIls etched his way into America's heart with his whoops and holIers, his dancing fiddle and the inimitable sound of his band, the Texas PIayboys. Out of the dustbowI Depression days WiIls rose, fiddIe in hand, creating the music that lifted the nation's spirit. Western Swing: an irresistibIe combination of the raw tunes of Texas fieId workers, the souIfuI country bIues, swinging horns of big band jazz and the jumping, joyous of Country Western strings.
This originaI documentary takes a nostalgic Iook back at the heyday of Bob WiIIs and his Texas Playboys from their early days at KVOO radio - "The Voice of Oklahoma," to the packed dance fIoor at the legendary Cain's Ballroom in TuIsa, and on to nationaI fame from Las Vegas to HoIlywood's silver screen.
V.l.E.W. Video is proud to present FiddIin' Man: The Life and Times of Bob WiIls, featuring intimate recoIIections from the Texas Playboys and those who knew the Iegend best, combined with a generous selection of performances capturing four decades of Bob WilIs' Western Swing. |
