Any good instrumental groups? It'd be nice listen to some of the good old swing on the road.

Don't know of any instrumental groups. But some of Bob Wills stuff is instrumental. I think the original San Antonio Rose, pretty sure of Maiden's Prayer and Steel Guitar Rag were all instrumental. There may be others.

"Asleep at the Wheel" is about the top of the heap as far as touring groups. You should be able to get their CD's most anywhere.
They have stuff om Youtube, I'm sure.

Asleep at the Wheel's Bob Wills tribute album is state of the art traditional western swing with a lot of really great guest artists.

Asleep at the Wheel's Bob Wills tribute album is state of the art traditional western swing with a lot of really great guest artists. That's one of my all time favorite Western Swing Albums. Asleep at the Wheel does Bob Wills better than Bob Wills ever did! Met Ray Bensen one time with his fiddle player at a Austin Music Store once while buying a Vintage Fender Stratocaster. He's like 6' 7" a huge guy. And a super nice & very down to earth good ole boy human being. Not arrogant at all like most performers. His fiddle player at that time was Johhny Gimble. One of the last & probably best Fiddle Player that ever played with the original Texas Playboys. Which was Bob Wills original band. He is the fiddle player who George Strait always used for his Studio Recordings. Every once in a while in their Live Performances, Ray Benson does the old Waylon Jennings song which has the line " it don't matter who's in Austin, Bob Wills is still the King"

That's a great one EH. Like I said, Ray Benson & Assleep at the Wheel does Bob Wills better than anybody. Even Better than Bob Wills ! I've met that Fiddle Player too, I just can't think of his name. He lives over in New Braunfells, TX, right down the road from my little Brother. He gave fiddle lessons to my oldest nephew. Like all the fellows in Asleep at The Wheel, real down to earth good ole country boys. Asleep at the Wheels is now touring doing a Bob Will's Tribute Musical that is awesome. If you ever get a chance to see them in Concert, its money well spent. His band are all Professional Studio Musicians, who actually sound better than the their CD's. And its NOT one of those fru fru gay ass Musicals like in NYC.

I like Bob Wills a bushel, and a peck. I remember stopping at a rest stop in Wyoming, Faded Love was playing on the sound system as an instrumental, nice listening.

Forgot about old Red Stegal. Use to go dancing to his band at the Coleman County Rodeo & the Texas Cowboys Reunion Rodeo ever year here near the Ranch. He now does Cowboy Poetry & hosts a National Radio Show. He's getting old but can still really sing! Met him several times. About as a nice a fellow as you would ever meet. He grew up about 80 miles south of here in Coleman, TX Same town Ronny Dunn of Brooks & Dunn fame grew up in. Lotta Country Music Stars grew up it this part of Texas. Including Dan Seals, Larry Gatlin, Johnny Duncan, Gary Morris, and Jeanie C Riley, though I doubt most here on the Fire have ever heard of her

Oh yeah, Milton Brown is buried in a little cemetery outside Stephenville, Tx. All my family is there, he was an inlaw. Google that. MB band was credited with bringing the "Hawaiian Guitar" (steel guitar) to country & swing music.
