Fiddlin' Man: The Life and Times of Bob Wills
Editorial Review:
Description
Bob Wills etched his way into America's heart with his whoops and hollers, his dancing fiddle and the inimitable sounds of his band, the Texas Playboys. Out of the dustbowl Depression days Wills rose, fiddle in hand, creating the music that lifted the nation's spirit. Western swing: an irresistible combination of the raw tunes of Texas field workers, the soulful country blues, swinging horns of big band jazz and the jumping, joyous sounds of Country Western strings.
This original documentary takes a nostalgic look back at the heyday of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys from their early days at KVOO radio- "The Voice of Oklahoma"- to the packed dance floor at the legendary Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, and on to national fame from Las Vegas to Hollywood's silver screen.
V.I.E.W. Video is proud to present "Fiddlin' Man: The Life and Times of Bob Wills," featuring intimate recollections from the Texas Playboys and those who knew the legend best, combined with generous selection of performances capturing four decades of Bob Wills' Western Swing. SELECTIONS INCLUDE:

- Bob Wills Biography
- Bob Wills Discography
- Digitally Mastered Audio & Video
