Legends of Country Music - Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys by Bob Wills - Personnel: Herman Arnspiger, Sleepy Johnson (guitars); Leon McAuliffe (steel guitar); Johnnie Lee Wills (banjo); Art Haynes (fiddle, trombone); Bob Willis, Jesse Ashlock (fiddle); Zeb McNally (alto saxophone); Al Stricklin (piano); Son Lansford (bass guitar); Smoky Dacus (drums). All tracks have been digitally mastered using 24-bit technology. "Ah-haaaaaaaaaaaa!" If one word...two words?...was necessary to define Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, that exclamation would be it. Guaranteed to be yelled in jubilation at least once per side by Turkey, Texas' favorite son, "ah-haaaaaaaaaa!" is the battle cry of western swing. The glorious four-disc box set LEGENDS OF COUNTRY MUSIC collects 105 tracks from the entirety of the band's career, including all of their signature tracks and plenty of interesting rarities. This is the essential overview of the meeting between big-band jazz and traditional country.
