Stringsinger | Bob Wills songs (21) | RE: Bob Wills songs | 13 Oct 19 |
Although Wills adapted many traditional country songs, which he undoubtably heard growing up, he never wanted to be thought of as a country musician. He labeled his music Western Swing or Southwestern Swing and modeled after the leading dance bands of the Forties. There was a strong element of traditional jazz in his bands. |
