Fiddlin' Man - Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys

Bob Wills shows his master showmanship as both bandleader and musician in this short known as Fiddlin' Man.

Backing the king of western swing, the gum-chewing pianist, the expressionless guitarist, and the giddy drummer make playing with Wills look easy.

Music: Bob Wills - Oklahoma

In this clip, from the B Western "Take Me Back to Oklahoma," Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys croon in perfect harmony 'Oklahoma we love you,' with Wills' signature backup calls.

Riding with Tex Ritter, they sing together 'Calamity Jane.'

But, clearly, the King of Western Swing makes Ritter pale in comparison, in our opinion.

Too right, too right.
