Cain's Ballroom is worth checking out if you're a Western music fan. What's particularly fascinating about this venue is that it was once the home of Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys from 1935 to 1942. During this period, Cain's Ballroom played a pivotal role in popularizing a new genre of music called Western swing. This unique style of country and western music combined elements of jazz, hillbilly, boogie, blues, big band swing, rhumba, mariachi, and jitterbug to create something extraordinary. Bob Wills played weekly dances, hosted a midnight radio show, and even had a daily noon-hour program at Cain's Ballroom during his heyday.
