Mel Tillis & Bob Wills
"The King Of Western Swing"
(Kapp, 1967)
------------------------------------
An odd pairing of two very different country stars - Bob Wills, the king of western swing, was in his twilight years, while honkytonker Mel Tillis was a successful songwriter but still a few years away from busting out as a successful solo performer. This Kapp LP was released under two different catalog numbers during the same year: KL-1523 (mono) and KS-3523 (stereo) (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Country Music)

Tracks include:
San Antonio Rose
Looking Over My Shoulder
Eight'r From Decatur
Faded Love
I Needed You
Memphis
Sugarfoot Rag
Let's Be Sure We Know
I Wish I Felt This Way At Home
Big Beaver
Somewhere South Of San Antone
Comanche Hit And Run

2.0 out of 5 stars Ho-hum sound, July 9, 2008

If you want to start gathering Bob's complete output, this set offers you a cheap option compared to the Bear Family boxes. Soundwise there's no comparison, this JSP sounds lifeless, shrill and lacks base. So the 2 stars reflect the unpleasant sound, there are not enough stars in the universe to rate the music!
