 August 26, 2009 | Johnny Gimble on Bob Wills Radio
Bob Wills Radio just added a terrific installment of a historic interview with fiddler/mandolinist Johnny Gimble. Recorded in Austin, Texas, it's more fiddle than mando, but still an incredible archive of dialogue with the Texas Swing master, reminiscing his pre-Texas Playboy days with Bob Wills. Names like Buck, Curly, Jesse, Eldon, the Rhythmaires bring back the late 40's & 50's roots of this great American genre.
Tune to this and other archive audio on the Bob Wills website.

Read "Western Swing Fiddle" Stacy Phillips interview with Johnny Gimble.
Thanks to friend and mentor, Paul Glasse for bringing this to our attention. Paul had the pleasure of interning with Gimble, and is one of the few mandolinists on the planet to have studied also with masters Tiny Moore, and Jethro Burns. The best of the best.
