Bob Wills RARE 1958 Radio Broadcast Recordings

Exploring The Past with Louis Hatchett

 

Here are some rare undiscovered recording by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys in 1958. These audios were 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.

Years ago, a friend of mine gave me copies of his personal recordings that he captured live on the radio in 1958, featuring the reunion of Bob Wills, Johnny Lee Wills and the all of the musicians from the Boys From Oklahoma and The Texas Playboys. In 2022 I as able to digitally remaster these rare and forgotten KVOO radio broadcast recordings from 1958 and included them on my YouTube Channel and my website for public access and historical archiving.

Now have a listen and if you’re not familiar with Bob and Johnny Lee Wills, after a few minutes you will understand why Texans and Okies, and all of America love Bob Wills, Johnny Lee Wills and The Texas Playboys.
