Johnny Lee Wills Stay All Night is a country music radio program associated with bandleader Johnny Lee Wills, the younger brother of Western swing pioneer Bob Wills. Wills led his own band, the Texas Playboys, carrying forward a lively blend of country music and Western swing.

The program offers a musical listening experience centered on the band’s performances. Western swing brings together country fiddle and vocals with the rhythmic drive and improvisational spirit of jazz, creating a sound that can move easily from a dance tune to a more relaxed song.

With its roots in the Texas dance-hall tradition, the show suits listeners drawn to vintage country, fiddle-led ensembles, and the buoyant energy of Western swing. The title promises an evening with Johnny Lee Wills and his music, presented in the direct, performance-focused style of radio entertainment.
