Timeless Wonder October 26, 2008
I heard about Bob Wills a long time ago via Waylon Jennings ("Bob Wills is Still the King"). 20 years later I decided to find out what all the fuss was about.
I found out.
His sense of style, musical mastery and storytelling is in a league of its own.
Something else though.....sure, he does his share of "she took my dog, she took my pick-up truck"....however his music has a joy, rhythm and optimism that lifts the soul.
This compilation is too good to be true - the quality, the quantity, the price - what's going on here?
And Tommy Donkin (that's how I heard his name pronounced by Waylon for those 20 years) has a voice to enjoy and love.
This is a Box Set (4 discs, more than 100 songs)from heaven, even for someone who's not been within 8,000 miles of Texas.
Ding Dong Daddy done diddly do October 12, 2008
Bob Wills and His Tx Playboys featuring Tommy Duncan on vocals and the amazing Leon McAuliffe on slide guitar evokes the pure American experience of pleasure, pain, and persuasion by the way of a Saturday dance.
Bob Wills/Band were the foremost example of a time and tempo of true Southwest 1940's 50's or so ya think. Bob Wills was as much a Big Band hero as Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller, etc.. maybe more as he toured endlessly and loved his audience.
This 4 CD set has a hundred recordings and a booklet well worth the bargain price. It has more grins to the ear than a halloween pumpkin.
Emphasizing the SWING in Western Swing April 24, 2008
This 4-disc collection covers most of the history of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. It's a tremendous value! The recording quality is good and the included 52-page book contains a detailed look at the life and career of Wills and the band. I have collected a wide variety of Bob Wills recordings in the past 35 years, but this package ties it all together in chronological order. Listening to the music this way, I've been reminded more than ever that Western Swing really is a regional version of big-band jazz and dance music, not country music. However you want to look at it, Bob Wills music is the happiest music there is! I highly recommend this either as an introduction to Bob Wills or as a way to flesh out a collection.

For musicianship, I rate Wills and the Playboys 5-star-plus, but his constant, inane running commentary earns a 0-star rating. Wills sounds like Vonnegut's elevator operator from Cat's Cradle who says, "Yes, yes" when he gooses himself. Nothing soulful, musical, or interesting was added when Wills talked; in fact, it was annoying. He played a beautiful fiddle, but he shoulda shut his mouth.
amazing collection June 1, 2007
An incredible bargain ... the only surprise is that it doesn't have "Right or Wrong," which is on the one-disc "Essential" collection.
