Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: Way Out West - The Lost Transcriptions For Tiffany Music Vol.2 (2-CD)
Here's a little background. In 1946 and 1947, Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys cut nearly 400 full songs for Tiffany Music, Inc., recordings that came to be known as the Tiffany Transcriptions. These recordings were distributed only to radio stations on 16-inch transcription discs, and were intended for airplay as part of a syndicated radio show featuring Wills and the Playboys.
However, the transcriptions proved to be a financial failure, and Tiffany Music, Inc. folded by the end of the '40s, seemingly relegating the Tiffany Transcriptions to obscurity (and leaving over 200 recordings in the can). But these recordings were unlike anything else in the Wills discography; they allowed the greatest band in country music history to JAM. For decades, the Tiffany Transcriptions were more legend than fact.
Finally, in the early '80s, Kaleidoscope Records began releasing a series of vinyl volumes of the Tiffany Transcriptions, followed by a CD release on Kaleidoscope and Rhino Records in the '90s. But those releases accounted for less than half of the songs recorded for Tiffany Music by Wills and the Playboys.
Now, Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys: Way Out West'The Lost Transcriptions for Tiffany Music, 1946-1947 Volume 2 serves up another 50 of those long-lost Tiffany sides'some of which never were even released by the company on transcription discs'inside a package just like the first, a 6-panel DVD-style digipak featuring photos and memorabilia from the collection of Kaleidoscope Records co-founder Tom Diamant.
The oversized booklet includes notes from A&R legend James Austin describing how Bob Wills became one of the first rock stars with testimonials from folks like ZZ Top's Billy F Gibbons, Asleep at the Wheel's Ray Benson, and Chris Isaak. And, just like on Ridin' My Way, the recordings are miraculously mastered by Bob Fisher to preserve their vintage sonic vibrancy while eliminating excess background surface noise.

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."
