Bob Wills - King Of Western Swing (Expanded Edition) (1967)

Take a big white Stetson hat, a long black cigar, and a hearty,
“Ah-Hah! San Antone!”, and you’ve got Bob Wills.

And when you’ve got Bob Wills, you’ve got the King Of Western Swing.
It’s all here, those magical ingredients that make the Bob Wills sound—solid four-beat rhythm, a taste of the Spanish touch,
a brassy wail of the horns...

And, for extra good measure, a guest artist of great stature has been added: Mel Tillis.
A songwriting singer, Mel has long been an admirer of Bob Wills.
So the meeting is a summit conference of Western Swing.

The program dips into the past for a couple of the good old good ones,
and comes right up to today, for some of the new sounds.
It all adds up to a full album of sheer listening pleasure.

Better make way for Bob Wills and his Western Swing Band
with guest star Mel Tillis. They’re romping and stomping at you right now.
