In 2015 the Oklahoma Historical Society, OKPOP, and 46 Star Records released a vinyl album of music by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The songs featured on this album were recorded for a radio series in 1949.
It's a fascinating doc - I wish more museums and archives would do this "behind the scenes" type video. For anyone interested in history it's important to know how these things were done and delivered to us to experience. Steve was one of Oklahoma's true musicologists and historians. He shared so much of what he did and mentored numerous artists. Thanks for this.
May God bless you and your family. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you! I've loved Bob Wills music since I first heard it, and I'm glad you did this!
Great documentary.
I cannot thank you enough. My Daddy was Jimmie Widener. He was one of the original Texas Playboys and they are all gone now. I was missing him so much tonight and then I happened upon your video. Thank you so much for saving this. His Great Grandchildren and all those forthcoming will be able to hear their voices. Also for a heartsick, grieving old daughter allow a time trip back to hear his voice and guitar. Thank you and God Bless your hearts for doing it.
Got my copy. It sounds great!
I hope that with some of the continuing advancements in the technology for cleaning up old recordings that we will hear more someday.
Just found this and I want to Thank You for doing this. My Daddy (Jimmie Widenenr) was one of the original Texas Playboys. I grew up on this music ,quite literally . It is a comfort to see this being done. I can tell his grandchildren and great grandchildren can listen to their Granddaddy sing. Thank you once more.
Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are the best band of all time
Very nice!
....from a fairly recent, but now, a HUGE admirer of Bobs music.
I especially loved it that Sitting on Top of the World is playing in the background....a song I keep going back to....wonderful
What a tremendous project! Thanks to all involved for your efforts in bringing these lost recordings back to life!
God bless you & your efforts!
As someone who does similar work on a smaller scale and without any real budget here on my RUclips page, it is interesting to see this work. I am eventually going to have to go back through albums I have digitized just to run programs to remove hiss and pops just like this had to be done here.
Bob Wills was my Grandpa's Main Jam.
Thank you Steve Old friend.
I am so glad Steve Ripley did the
recording enhancements. I think he has the best musical ear of anyone in Oklahoma.
Western Swing...love it. thanks

Bob Wills, foi um cantor, compositor, instrumentista e maestro das próprias musicas que compunham com os Texas Playboyscantavam também temas de outros compositores a seu modo, Foi muito importante na cultura musical americana, pois muitos seguiram os seus passos. Deixou saudades, era muito divertido em suas apresentações, encantando a todos que o assistiam e ouviam-no. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS - Brasil.
I got to do a short tour with some of the Playboys through Oklahoma in the 80s And was trying to put together the New Texas Playboys in Ft Worth and a movie called “Deep Within My Heart.” It was a great idea with Johnny Gimble producing the group and we had a label that was very interested Warner Bro’s West. But I’ve never ran into a harder project in my life, ever. And some Playboys told me there could be and probably would be trouble with certain people and oh boy they were right. Lol.
Will there be a CD release and when?
