I'm very proud to say , "joe holley" is my grandpa. and the best left handed fiddle player in the world..
The King, right there.
I have a CD with Bob and Joe Holley playing together. Both were amazing, infinitely entertaining musicians. All the Playboys were incredible musicians--all 600 of them!
my papaw's favorite band! bob wills was the first person to take drums onstage at the grand ol' opry, even though they told him he couldn't - you go bob wills! hope my papaw's up there jamming with bob right now. thanks for posting this vid, and long live western swing!
My great grandfather was this guys best friend and sometimes would play with him
Wow! Was your great grandfather a professional musician? Amazing. Bob Wills was most definitely the king of western swing.
Weirdo Video yes he was professional! and him and Bob grew up together from kids till death. and they learned fiddle together. now however sometimes when one of bobs fiddle players were not able to make it my pappy would substitute for him. btw do you know the band asleep at the wheel.
What was the name of your great-grandfather, if you don't mind me asking?
Weirdo Video I could not say because I don't know it. only time I heard him play was when I was 3 that was years ago and shortly after he played like a few weeks later he passed away. I wish I knew it. he was a professional clown as well. he could play fiddle with his feet!
great oul country,! cant any better,!!! oul country is the best,!
Bob Wills the 👏king
1st tune is the JoeBob rag I got it on vinyl and 💿 called Playboy Medley.
Bob is still the king!
Thanks for posting this great video!
Thanks Bob: My Brain needed this.
Amazing bass and drums! Tight!!!
1:05 that breakdown was so heavy
real dance music!!
hehe,
Liberty!
Thats as tight as it gets Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys at there best."Still the King"
Cracking tune
These have to be the hippest old cowboys i've ever seen.
@kreggerya "Old Joe Clark", Merle Haggard has a song on his (1981) album "Big City" called "Texas Fiddle Song" and fiddles and sings about it, great tune !!!
I love Bob Wills but have never thought to look for a clip of him; thanks for this!
I love the pianist. Maybe he's mad no one can hear him through the big stack of hay bales. :-p
The southpaw's name is Joe Holley or "Jody" as Bob called him. If you take a close look, he plays a right hand violin. He just plays over the bass...INSANE!!
when is the last time you heard a fiddler duet like that!
So good. 1951, btw.
TAKE ME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEEEEEEEEHAW!!
Bob Wills is still the King!
its a left handed fiddle strung right handed... Joe is my grandpa and was an amazing musician, pretty much a music genius..
lol! The guy on the right is left handed... :O Sweet!
I believe that's Cotton Whittington playing an Epiphone Triumph Regent guitar
keep it old coumtry,, dam great,!
Er...let's get specific -- the 'gum chewing pianist' is Skeeter Elkin, the 'expressionless guitarist' is Cotton Whittington. the 'giddy drummer' is Paul Magee..also Bobby Koeffer on steel, Joe Ferguson on bass, Joe Holley on fiddle and Ocie Stockard on banjo. 1951. Billy Jack ain't in this clip. 2nd song of the medley is 'Liberty'.
Note also the fiddle player is left handed also.
The first tune is "Pig Ankle Rag", an the third one is "Liberty". Does anyone know what the second tune is?
AH Jody !..
love it ! look at the guitar player ....he's a lefty ..but they didn't make any lefty guitars back then ! who cares ( as Jimi Hendrix once said) !
That's pretty good. I bet he could sing while playing which would be even more impressive.
first song-Jobob Rag ending
No the last song was Liberty.
The B part of the 2nd tune sounds like Bill Cheatham, but the A part, not so much.
Both the guitar player, and the 2nd fiddle player are left handed
gibson L5
The guy's playing the guitar up side down! I do the same thing. Lefties represent.
I did notice that too !
Pretty good for Bob. He was never a great fiddle player but he always surrounded himself with the best. Joe Holley was good. My favorites were Keith Coleman and of course Johnny Gimble. Had a bunch of great ones over the years.
