Thoughts: Well, I mean, this is the same band as comes every year.  They haven't released any new music, they still just crank up the excellent western swing stuff like they always have, and everything is all good.  Warms my heart that C3 continues to include them on the bill each year, despite the fact that attendance at their show probably wanes each year as more of the true Austinites at the festival die off and are replaced with 14 year olds vaping weed oil and asking where to find the EDM tent.

Nothing much new to say, with no new music, so here are prior year's reviews:

• My 2016 Preview
• My 2015 Preview
• My 2014 Preview

Go see, 'em, kids.  They play the best renditions of Bob Wills tunes since the King himself.
