Kapp, Master, MGM and Liberty labels.

Bob Wills is the undisputed â??King of Western Swing.â?? Whether he was the originator, the best fiddler, the best arranger,
or whatever is an ongoing discussion among die-hard fans of the man and the genre. But Bob Wills put the big beat in
country music and thus is long overdue in Bear Familyâ??s up-tempo hillbilly series â??Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight.â??
This carefully compiled selection spans Bob Willsâ?? career from 1939 until 1963 and picks material from his stints with
Vocalion/Columbia and Kapp, Master, MGM, and Liberty. Among the highlights of the CD are several classics: the old
blues Keep Knocking But You Canâ??t Come In, which Wills had initially played with his erstwhile partner, the legendary
Milton Brown, in the Fort Worth Doughboys; country writer Cindy Walkerâ??s gem Donâ??t Be Afraid of Your Age; and the
influential Twin Guitar Special.
Outstanding, however, is the tasteful compilation of Bob Wills's up-tempo dancefloor smashes â?? he was renowned for
operating the best dance orchestra in the South-West, some say in the entire USA (but we leave that to the already
mentioned die-hard fans and experts). Many of the (almost) career-spanning swing smashes may seem unfamiliar to
those who have missed out on Bear Familyâ??s box sets of the man. Many featured string band sizzlers from various
labels and periods have never been arrayed in that way.
Bob Wills mostly stuck to his tried-and-true formula. Still, this CD features concessions to trends such as hillbilly boogie
and rockabilly, as well as picking on themes of contemporary pop lore, like spreading gossip about â??Jolie Blonde.â??
The CD is a must for dancing and will make you smile. It proves once again that Bob Wills could catch his charisma and
his bandâ??s fire on a platter and serve a tasty stew of various ethnic ingredients of American music, delivered with the
bouncing beats of hot jazz and bawdy blues. Grab your partner and get to it. Or put the CD on while sweeping the floor
or doing your chores. It will have you holler out â??Ah-Haahâ?ť in no time.
