You might check with Jimmie Willhelm at vintagecowboymusic.com and cowboypal.com. Also, and you probably already know this, when doing a search for Wills' movies, search for the main actor instead of Bob. Russell Hayden starred in all but two. Tex Ritter starred in one, and Glenn Ford in one, which was not a "B" western. This movie, "Go West Young Lady", also starred one of the silver screens great dancers, Ann Miller. Lest you don't have a list of Wills' movie appearances, they are as follows: (Russell Hayden) THE LONE PRAIRIE, A TORNADO IN THE SADDLE, RIDERS OF THE NORTHWEST MOUNTED, SADDLES AND SAGEBRUSH, SILVER CITY RAIDERS, THE VIGILANTE'S RIDE, WYOMING HURRICANE, and THE LAST HORSEMAN. The Ritter movie was TAKE ME BACK TO OKLAHOMA. By searching for B westerns you can find some of these titles commercially available. Others are available through collectors. Don't know of any on DVD but if you find a source please share it with the group.
