From the film, Blazing the Western Trail, with Charles Starrett as the Durango Kid, with music by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys, with Tommy Duncan as lead.
When I was in high school I would eat lunch at our house and Mom always had the radio tuned to KVOO in Tulsa Oklahoma. Bob Wills played there every day. I remember them advertiing Saturday night dances at the Trianon ball room in Tulsa I knew the words to just about every song they did especially Roly Poly, Daddys little fatty, and Time changes everything.
I love the Durango movies. I have this one, but I want the two with Ernest Tubb and the three or four with Merle Travis. Of course, since I was about 16, the words "Merle Travis" were magic. I have this particular movie on tape. Wouldn't take $1000 for it if I couldn't replace it.
You're awesome for posting this. Thanks for doing it! I could've swore I watched a Durango Kid movie where Bob Wills got in a fight. My favorite part of the Durango Kid series was hearing Tommy Duncan/Bob Wills as well as Smiley Burnette perform their numbers.
It's not a bugle, it's a 3 valve trumpet. I actually believe it's a cornet, which had rounder tubing and a mellow tone. Louis Armstrong played a cornet.
The Allman Brothers Band credited Bob Wills band’s twin guitar attack as inspiring them to integrate that into their sound. I wonder if they didn’t get the idea from this movie?
I have this and most Durangos on tape, and have wondered where those twin guitars and Leon McAuliff (sp) got their electric sounds before there was electricity. Also would like to find the two movies with Ernest Tubb.

Luv this cover of this song.
