    More words - this is a great album, performed by a truly amazing list of musicians. This is real country. Authentic a worthy tribute to the original King, Bob Wills. This album is great.

    Brilliant musicianship and respect for the tradition of the great Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. I have no doubt Bob is giving a big "haaaaw" from the great beyond. Steel Crazy man has obviously has no idea who Bob Wills is which I find incredible for someone who seems to identify with steel guitar.
  • Bless you Ray Benson!

    How do you keep doing it? Keeping true to a tradition that is worth carrying on. The musicality of the songs are impeccable, as is all of Mr. Benson and band’s work. The most amazing thing about this album is the sound. It’s just like the old recordings, intimate, close up, and simple, but without the hiss and crackles. It strips all the sonic glitter that in a way detracts from many of AATW’s previous recordings.

    That’s because that’s what Bob Wills did and this is a Bob Wills tribute album. I love the album.

    Ray Benson really likes to hear himself talk…..He says “HAW” at least once in every song, announces obvious things like what instrument is about to solo, or the name of the song…..VERY ANNOYING!….really ruins the album, which is already a little mediocre to begin with……I do like these guys, though….and their live recordings feature lots of talking…..I had hoped that a studio release would not have it……how wrong you can be!!!
