You know, Country & Western!
This ain't your Dad's country music. It's your Granddad's! None of that new Nashville bullshit either. This is where you'll find what I consider the best in Country (Classic and Alt), Folk, and Americana.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys - Right or Wrong
Tommy Duncan, lead singer (and best out of all of them, if you ask me) of the Texas Playboys would be 102 today if he hadn’t kicked it all the way back in 1967. Born 1/11/1911.

Glen Campbell, Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys - San Antonio Rose
What the what? This is one of those times when I see something and start out thinking that it’s going to be one of those crappy videos made of stills. But no, here’s a realllllly young Glen with perfect hair and a stylin’ outfit singing with Bob. I initially thought the music was canned and was surprised when it was Bob hollerin’ & fiddlin’ in person right there. A real gem of find.
Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys - Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas
