The Texas fiddle tradition is distinct from southern Appalachian — bluesier, more swing-influenced, with longer breakdowns and a different bow technique. Bob Wills brought it into wider awareness in the 30s and 40s; modern contest fiddlers keep it alive. Fourteen Texas-tradition tunes in our catalog.
