  • Bear Family Records® presents the undisputed 'King of Western Swing', Bob Wills, in the long-running 'Gonna Shake This Shack' series.
  • A carefully curated selection in our CD series of fast-paced hillbilly boogie recordings.
  • The album traces Bob Wills' career from 1939 to 1963 with material from the Vocalion/Columbia and Kapp, Master, MGM and Liberty labels.
  • Among the classics here are Keep Knocking But You Can't Come In, Don't Be Afraid Of Your Age and Twin Guitar Special, pure western swing alongside hillbilly boogie and rockabilly.
  • Extensive liner notes by Roland Heinrich Rumtreiber, rare illustrations and a discography in the booklet as well as carefully remastered recordings promise an all-round successful and enjoyable album by a grand master!

Bob Wills is the undisputed ‘King of Western Swing.’ 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 Family’s up-tempo hillbilly series ‘Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight.’

This carefully compiled selection spans Bob Wills’ 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 Can’t Come In, which Wills had initially played with his erstwhile partner, the legendary Milton Brown, in the Fort Worth Doughboys; country writer Cindy Walker’s gem Don’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 – 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 Family’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 ‘Jolie Blonde.’

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 band’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 “Ah-Haah” in no time.
Guaranteed!

"Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys"

In den 30er bis 50er Jahren war er eine der einflußreichsten Persönlichkeiten in der Geschichte der Country Music: der legendäre Bob Wills, ein Pionier des jazzigen Western Swing, der im amerikanischen Südwesten und später an der Westküste entstand und seine große Blütezeit erlebte. Der Texaner – der innovative und charismatische 'König des Western Swing' - verbrachte die Hoch-Zeit seiner Karriere in Oklahoma und Kalifornien. Mit seiner klassischen Band, den Texas Playboys, vereinigte er texanische Fiddlemusic mit Hot Jazz, Blues, Pop und anderen Stilrichtungen. Bis sein Riesen-Hit San Antonio Roseihn landesweit berühmt machte, war Wills lediglich eine lokale Größe. Dann aber bescherte ihm seine Musik eine überdurchschnittliche Popularität und hatte einen unverrückbaren Einfluß auf die Entwicklung der herkömmlichen Country Music; außerdem machten ihn der Einsatz elektrischer Gitarren, ein betonter Beat und ein Blues-Touch in seiner Musik auch zum wichtigen Wegbereiter des Rock 'n' Roll. 

Wills verstarb 1975, doch seine Popularität und Wirkung leben weiter. 2005 wäre er 100 Jahre alt geworden, und Bear Family Records feiert dies mit einer besonderen Ankündigung: Es wird ein zweites Wills-Box-Set geben, das die erste Box aus dem Jahr 2000, 'San Antonio Rose' (BCD 15933), ergänzt. Dieses gigantische Projekt – mit 11 CDs und einer DVD mit Wills' erstem Kinofilm – enthielt bereits Wills' richtungweisende frühe Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 1932 bis 1947. Volume 2 setzt seine Veröffentlichungen lückenlos fort – mit Wills' ersten MGM-Einspielungen aus dem Herbst 1947 bis zu seinen letzten Arbeiten von 1973. Die Box wird zahlreiche, bislang unveröffentlichte Songs präsentieren; außerdem eine komplette, ebenfalls bisher nicht veröffentlichte Reunion-Session von 1971, die von Country-Music-Legende Merle Haggard organisiert wurde, der auch selbst mitspielte.

Weiterführende Informationen werden wir rechtzeitig in unseren Katalogen und auf der Internetseite www.bear-family.de  bekanntgeben.

James Robert Wills, der King Of Western Swing, leitete vier Jahrzehnte lang eine der besten und einflussreichsten Western Swing Bands, die Texas Playboys. Mit einem Duo, der Wills Fiddle Band, hatte der Sänger und Fiddler Bob Wills zusammen mit dem Gitarristen Herman Arnspiger 1929 begonnen, 1931 war noch der Sänger Milton Brown dazugekommen und wenig später hatten sich aus der "Wills Fiddle Band die "Light Crust Doughboys entwickelt, eine Western Swing Formation, die später zur Legende hochstilisiert wurde.

1933, als Milton Brown und Bob Wills die Light Crust Doughboys verlassen hatten, gründete Bob seine eigene Band, die "Texas Playboys, eine Gruppe, mit der er Maßstäbe für den gesamten Western Swing Stil setzte. Er wurde im Verlauf weniger Jahre der Benny Goodman des Western Swing.

1968 wurde Bob Wills in die Country Music Hall Of Fame aufgenommen, doch den wohl schönsten Tribut zollte ihm Waylon Jennings, als er sang: "No matter who`s in Austin, Bob Wills is still the King."
