Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

Remembering Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys with No. 1 Hits: 'Spanish Two Step,' 'Sugar Moon' and More

Few modern country music fans remember the genre of country-western, and few are still familiar with the work of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. Wills, the "King of Western Swing," died 40 years ago on May 13, and Music Times is hoping to maintain his legacy by listing his six no. 1 singles from the US Country Charts for your consideration, including the 'New Spanish Two Step,' 'Sugar Moon' and more.
Back of The Billboards: 'Still The King: Celebrating The Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys'

Society always celebrates the records that top the Billboard 200 album chart. Back of The Billboards is a Music Times weekly segment that looks at the opposite end: the new record that finished closest to the back of the Billboard 200 for the previous week. We hope to give a fighting chance to the bands you haven't heard of. This week we look at Asleep At The Wheel's third Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys tribute, 'Still The King,' which features guest spots from George Strait, Brad Paisley, Willie Nelson and more.
