Sollie Paul Williams. Tex Williams was an American Western swing musician, well known for his talking blues style. His most popular song was "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)." Tex was born near Ramsey, IL, the youngest of eleven children. He, like his siblings, learned much about traditional folk songs from his father, a fiddler who worked as a blacksmith and ran a sawmill shop. Tex took music lessons from an older brother as a child; he became a multi-instrumentalist, able to play fiddle, bass fiddle, guitar, and banjo. He made his professional debut on station WJBL in Decatur, IL at thirteen years old.
