Salute the Majesty of Bob Wills
Bob Wills own daughter, Rosetta, gave their efforts her blessing as "the best tribute to my father's music I've ever heard." No, we did not pay or threaten her to say that.

Here's the lowdown: In addition to the usual crew, Sub-Commandante Mark Durante (
Waco Brothers) sits in on pedal steel and revives the spirit of Leon McAuliffe, and some crack local players add tasty guitar, fiddle, horns, and piano.
Here's the kicker: handling the vocal duties is a powerhouse line-up of greats and near-greats. Here's a quick listing of some of the guest stars: Texas legends Jimmie Dale Gilmore and
Alejandro Escovedo,
Kelly Hogan,
Robbie Fulks, Bob Boyd (from the archetypal Chicago swing masters
The Sundowners),
Sally Timms (Mekons),
Jane Baxter Miller, Brett Sparks (Handsome Family),
Neko Case, Edith Frost,
The Meat Purveyors, and
Rico Bell (Mekon accordion man).
All of this masterful stuff is contained within a package of super-cool Langford art that is worth the price of admission alone!!! It is a spot-on classic and puts mainstream country tributes to the masters that they have otherwise forsaken to shame. Word.
