Formed in 1934, Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys mixed hot fiddle swing with big band flair.

With Wills’ trademark hollers and Tommy Duncan’s smooth vocals, they turned Western swing into a national craze and kept the dance floors packed clear through the ’40s. Their sound still echoes anywhere a fiddle and steel guitar meet on a Saturday night. Follow @lonestarbeer another Texas legend #
