It was recorded during a KVOO On-Air Radio Broadcast from the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Bob and the Boys are talking with the radio announcer and performing live on stage. The song they are performing in this video is "Milk Cow Blues". Even if you are not a Bob Wills fan, you probably know this song. It was first recorded by black blues artist Kokomo Arnold on September 10, 1934 and released in November of that year. Lots of other blues artists followed up with several recordings of it the following year. Then it was recorded by Bob Crosby and his Orchestra, and it caught on with a much wider public, including Johnnie Lee Wills, who recorded it in his first recording session on September 15, 1941. From that point on it became part of the repertoire of all western swing bands, including Bob Wills. Bob Wills recorded "Milk Cow Blues" for the Tiffany Transcriptions in the mid-1940s, but he didn’t put it on record until 1969. What you are about to hear is a rare recording of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys performing "Milk Cow Blues" live on stage during the KVOO On-Air Radio Broadcast at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 25, 1958. Bob Wills is the Tulsa King of Country Music and this radio broadcast proves his legendary popularity. Johnnie Lee Wills is doing the vocals. I have digitally remastered the original radio broadcast recording for speed, clarity and stereo effect.
