Most everytime I host the Folk Show, I include some western swing. I love the fiddling, the beat, the sometimes over-the-top vocals. I’m hosting 1-5 this Saturday afternoon, and after hearing an NPR story this morning about the Western Swing Camp in Goobee TX, I’m thinking about giving western swing a bit more prominence than usual. Bob Wills, Hank Thompson, Light Crust Doughboys, Alvin Crow, Johnny Gimble, Asleep at the Wheel…. Who else would you suggest? And does anybody have a source for the late Bobby Boatright, for whom the Tx festival is named?
