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!
