Sometime back a friend and I were trying to compile a list of songs about Bob Wills, or that mention Bob. These would be songs that Bob himself never recorded, so songs like "What Makes Bob Holler" aren't on this list.
I've named the following, but would like some help in identifying more of these. Some of these were released by multiple artists, including some not named here. Here's what we have so far:
Bob Wills Is Still The King - Waylon Jennings, Clint Black
Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music - Red Steagall
Turkey, Texas (Home of Bob Wills) - Alvin Crow
When Bob Wills Comes To Town - Les Gilliam
Tight As Twin Fiddles - Vern Gosdin, Joe Paul Nichols
Bob Said It, Aw (And Called It Western Swing) - Johnny Bush
Bob, All The Playboys and Me - Dorsey Burnette
Back In The Swing Of Things - Tracy Byrd
Swingtown - Shelby Lynne
Taking Bob Back To Tulsa - Stonehorse
Ode To Bob Wills - Tagg Lambert
Texas Playboy Beat - Playboys II
Bob's Got A Swing Band In Heaven - Stonehorse, Red Steagall
My Baby Don't Dance To Nothin' But Ernest Tubb - Junior Brown
The Party Don't Start 'Till The Playboys Are Here - Don Walser
Give Me Western Swing - River Road Boys
Ode To Tommy Duncan - River Road Boys
Let me know what you come up with.
I'm sure I'm missing several!
Mike, Steve, Buddy, Jesse and others - how about some input?
Thanks
