Front jacket excerpt:
"Blend some hot Texas swing fiddling with a bit blues, a taste of Tex-Mex,
a
dash of Dixieland, a pinch of Tin Pan Alley pop, and a little big band
jazz,
add a heap of whoops and hollers, and you've got "western swing" as only
the
undisputed "King of Western Swing," Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys,
could
play it. A larger-than-life figured and a legend in his own time, Bob
Wills
was a major country star for over five decades. From playing radio dates
and
dances as a member of Aladdin Laddies and the Light Crust Doughboys in the
early thirties, to barnstorming tour across the Southwest playing dance
halls with the Texas Playboys, Wills was an innovator and an entertainer
par
excellence, as well as major influence on country stars like Willie Nelson
Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, an Ray Benson...From his
five
marriages to his gold record for "San Antonio Rose," from his destructive
drinking to his induction into the Nashville Country Music Hall of Fame,
Bob
Will's life story comes alive as it never has before."
