With a twinkle in his eyes that reminded me of Johnny Gimble and a smile like that of Bob Wills, Jason Roberts took us on a journey down the road of where it all began for him. 

We talked a little Willie, we talked a little George, and of course we spent a little time Asleep at the Wheel, and then he played us out with a tune called 𝑭𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 on his fiddle.

I was blessed to sit down with the man behind ⁠Bob Wills’ Texas Playboys under the direction of Jason Roberts⁠ - and the moment definitely did not disappoint! 

You're gonna love every minute of this one! Enjoy!
