Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys

Western swing maven Bob Wills was at his biggest during the 1940s, but this collection focuses on his worthy, though less popular, sides from the '50s. His fiddle work and vocal asides are as tasty as ever here; the hot guitar solos lead directly to rock 'n' roll; and the rollicking boogie woogie piano runs all come together on music tailor-made for barn dances.
