about

The WBB is classic country, with a touch of bluesy romps, belt buckle shining waltzes, and even the occasional yodel.

Voice of an angel, heart of a traveler, soul of a Texan. Jimmy “Rooster” Watts: The second and better looking half of the Watts brothers team, Jimmy lays down blazing lead guitar and inspired vocals. Rooster's path took him a different route than his brothers, and lead him through the heart of the blues, from New York down to Texas. He is the premier songwriter of the group, providing the road map for the journey. Wendel Broussard: Masterful mandolin from a master blacksmith. Wendel is known through out the country for his iron work, and now adds his well honed skill with the strings to the WBB. From his start shoe
