EP-37 This is a rare undiscovered recording by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys on January 24, 1958. It was recorded during a KVOO On-Air Radio Broadcast from the Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bob and the Boys are talking with the radio announcer and performing live on stage. The song they are performing in this video is “Curtain Call”.
Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys would sometimes perform new numbers that never went anywhere. If Bob sensed that the numbers were not all that popular with the dancers in the ballroom, he didn’t perform them after a few times. The instrumental may be one of those numbers.
What you are about to hear is a rare recording of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys performing “Curtain Call” live on stage during the KVOO On-Air Radio Broadcast at the Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 24, 1958. Johnnie Lee Wills was substituting hosting duties for Bob.
I have digitally remastered the original recording for clarity and stereo effect.
