The finest set of western swing ever. Timeless fun!.......2006-07-07

Good Luck in trying to find something better !.......2006-06-21

A Great Overview Of Western Swing.......2005-06-16

Musical history that is alive and well today.......2004-09-13

Western Swing is Western Folk Jazz no Hillbillies here!.......2003-12-12

This music has little to do with what was considered Country music at the time or its emasculated mutant descendants in Nashville.

This was not marketed as Country music. In fact in 1945 when Bob Wills, the acme of Western SWing, was the biggest grossing public attraction in the entertainment business, he had his sole invitation to the Grand Ole Opry, and then he almost walked out of there before he played a song because the hayseeds wouldn't let him bring on his drums and horns (not allowed onthe Opry until the late 1950s!).

Western Swing comes from Jazz from the pop Jazz of the 20s and early 1930s, included people who went back and forth between bands like Wills and Spade Cooley to the white big bands (though Bob Wills once tried to hire a black alto player[against the law in Oklahoma] and of late Les Paul has taken to claiming he saw Charlie Christian sit in with the Playboys at Cains and there are pictures of the Playboys having drinks in Chicago with black Jazz greats like Ben Webster!!). Townsend Wills' biographer interviewed many Playboys and none of them felt they were part of Country, but part of Jazz.

Basically it begins with people trying to play Jazz and Blues influenced music with the instruments of the old Southwestern Barn dance bands: guitar, fiddle, piano, adding in drums, and in many bands all the instruments of the Jazz orchestras. Very quickly Bobby Dunne added in the electric Hawaii, pedaless steel guitar and Leon McAuliffe who replaced him in the Doughboys and went with Wills was so well known that Bob Wills' introduction to him "Take it Away Leon" became a catch phrase in the whole country and beyond in the 1940s!

At its most hyperbolic height (captured here in the Space Cooley Orchestra's Oklahoma Stomp, a recording anyone with a set of ears should treasure) you had 16 and 18 piece orchestras with full fiddle sections (in the early 1960s Wills even rounded his fiddles with a violist from the Lawrence Welch band!), complete reed sections, and more brass than they needed, and exotic additions like the Harpist who kicks off The Oklahoma Stomp.

Further on than these recordings go, you would have players like Tiny Moore and Johnny Gimble who incorporated Bebop styles in their solos.

Along the way, mostly during that war time period when recording bans and players going in and out of the army and different bands make following a little harder, the straight western swing style of combining a guitar, steel guitar, and sometimes electric mandolin trio alternating with fiddle choirs took hold as the paradigm for Western Swing. For some reason in most bands the horns seemed to disappear or roll down to just one after WWII.

One thing about this music is that a very high level of musical technique and education became more and more part of the Western Swing environment. We know that European Jazmen like Stephan Grappelli followed the recordings of Hugh Farr who played with the sons of the pioneers and later Spade Cooley, and that Down Beat magazine described Eldon Shamblin out of Bob Wills' band as the best rythm guitar player in the country (slighting Freedie Green who even Eldon probably acknowledge was better).

The other thing in contrast with much of what was being presented as country music contemporaneously is that this was not being presented as "old time music," craddling close to old conventions, but a new hot dangerous music, drawn as close as comfort would allow from Black sources, from the dangerous white swing bands, and from the part of down home music involved in drinking, dancing, cheating, and other things not permitted in the Baptist Southeast.

WSM Grand Old Opry Stars toured the deep South playing in school auditoriums, church houses, and public squares. From the beginning Western swing belonged in barrooms, in dance halls, and other places where "the wine and liquor flow." Even Hank Williams wasn't allowed to use the word "beer" when he sang "My Bucket's got a hole in it" on the Opry. Meanwhile Western Swingers like Wills and Brown were singing about Cocaine and Opium, whiskey and beer back in the early 1930s.

And Smokie Woods wasn't called smokie cause he liked Tobacco. LOL. In fact his tune here called "Everybody's Trukin," about what is done "up in Harlem" includes much use of a word that does sound like truckin', but does not contain an r or a T but does start with an F!!

No this is not Nashville Country or even old time country music. This is Western guys and gals trying to be jazzy, bluesy, wild, whiskey soaked, drug high, hip to the secrets of Negroid nights of "truckin," playing their hearts out fast hot and heavy!

Anyone with ears should own this collection!

ps another wierd side note to this is on the great Hit\
"Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)" both Tex Williams who sang it and Merle Travis who wrote it died of lung cancer!

Roy and The Sons of the Pioneers.......2005-08-23

These RCA Victor Studio Recordings Are Some of the Best!.......2001-05-26

Roy was still part of the Sons of the Pioneers when three Bob Nolan-written songs, "The Devil's Great-Grandson," "When the Golden Train Comes Down" and "Hold That Critter Down" were recorded in L.A. on December 14, 1937 for the ARC label, which shortly afterwards became Columbia Records. The Pioneer harmony is tight here with Bob Nolan and Lloyd Perryman sharing the lead vocal spotlight with Roy on all these tunes.

Roy was an accomplished square dance caller. RCA Victor used fiddler Spade Cooley & his Buckle Busters as Roy's backup band for a square dance tune called "Round That Couple Go Through and Swing." This recording was made in Los Angeles on September 3, 1940.

Afterwards, Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers went their separate ways. RCA Victor re-united them on August 10, 1945 and cut "Along the Navajo Trail." This version is one of the best recordings of this song ever made. The Pioneers limits itself to handling the backup vocals, while Perry Botkin's orchestra provides the music for the session. "Rock Me to Sleep in My Saddle" (recorded January 10, 1946) is an easy going tune with some nice steel guitar work and an infectious clip-clop beat. "I Can't Go On This Way" (also recorded January 10, 1946)is one of the best songs on the album--with its catchy lyrics and decidely pop music sound supplied by the Morton Scott orchestra with its violins, horns and accordion.

Roy Rogers had his own radio show by 1946 when he recorded "I'm Restless," "My Heart Went That-A-Way," and "My Chickashay Gal" on September 4, 1946 in Los Angeles. Country Washburne & his orchestra, who were regulars on Roy's radio program, provided the music on these recordings. "I'm Restless" effectively uses the same steel guitar element, as well as the familiar clip-clop beat again. The bouncy "My Heart Went That-A-Way" (written by Roy & future wife Dale Evans) and "My Chickashay Gal" (co-written by fiddler/bandleader Spade Cooley) are great little numbers too! One of the highlights on the entire album is "Dangerous Ground" (recorded February 24, 1947. This song features catch lyrics and a bouncy beat.

The rest of the tracks are well-produced studio recordings of songs featured on the radio show or in Roy's movies. "On the Old Spanish Trail" was recorded May 18, 1947 in Los Angeles, but "San Fernando Valley," "Roll On, Texas Moon," "Don't Fence Me In," "Yellow Rose of Texas" and the novelty song "Hawaiian Cowboy" were recorded on October 23 and 24, 1947 in Chicago. All of these Chicago tracks are well-done, but "Roll On, Texas Moon" is outstanding and is one of Roy's best recordings ever. Music was provided by the Dave Boehme orchestra.

On December 1, 1947, Roy Rogers & the Pioneers went into the studio in L.A. and recorded a new rendition of "Home on the Range" along with two songs which were featured in the Pecos Bill portion of the Disney animated feature film, "Melody Time." Both "Pecos Bill" songs are included in this album.

One of the songs which Roy recorded in the session, "Blue Shadows on the Trail," is regarded today as the best western recording ever made. This song is magical with its haunting lyrics and wonderful harmonies. All of the Pioneers were featured on the recording--Lloyd Perryman, Ken Carson, Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer, Hugh & Karl Farr, Pat Brady and even Shug Fisher.

The song "Blue Shadows on the Trail" alone is worth the price of the album, but be forewarned. When Roy & the Pioneers sing: "Move along blue shadows, move along. Soon the dawn will come and you'll be on your way," this recording may touch your soul as it does mine. To this very day, every time I hear the Roy/Pioneers version of "Blue Shadows", I get goosebumps and wander back in time to when I was eight years old in Waco, TX. I'm sitting in a darkened theater watching the end of "Pecos Bill" when Roy & the Pioneers are singing "Blue Shadows" for a group of kids. The campfire is flickering, coyotes are wailing in the distance and I'm longing to be with Roy and the gang. What a memory and what a powerful recording that can have that effect on a 55 year old man. If you cherish this music like I do, you will want to add this album to your collection. Highly recommended.
