It's about time they gave Wills the full retrospective treatment. Anthology which I have on vinyl, while one helluva collection leaves you wanting more.

And while music is of course subjective, you can suck on Daddy's Little Fatty if you disagree with me.

I love this guy. A 10 disk set? There's a tear in my beer

Big balls in Cowtown, indeed. Greatness.

There wouldn't be rock and roll without Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

"I approve of this release."

I prefer Soft Cell's version of Faded Love

Take it away, Leon!

Moon in all your splendor...

All I can say about this is Awesome

GIS for "intrusively annoying falsetto ejaculations":

We have both kinds.
Country AND western.

/definitely western.

Reviewer is a pretentious fark. Bob's "vocal ejaculations" are part of the fun of his band's music.

Its a dance party, you're supposed to whoop it up! Bob was doing it 30 years before the disco crowd caught on...

In short: Lighten up, Francis.

The whole point of cowboy music is not that they do it well, but that they do it at all.

Reviewer also tires of all the Italian singing in opera.

'Criticism' does not actually mean you have to find something to criticize.

Yeah, he yelps. Being snarky about it? Tacky.

/added to the infinite queue of things-desired

downstairs: Still the king.

Ahhhhaaaa!

I don't know if Subby was trying to get us to read a hatchet job on Wills or not but here is the how the review ends:

'It's far from uniformly "Western," but all of it swings like crazy. The set is an essential historical document of a unique American art form. And for those of you who may be less pedantically inclined, it's still a whole lot of fun.'


Sounds pretty darned good, subby, so why the effort at hate?

The Tiffany Transcriptions (what TFA is about) have been around since forever; is this just new packaging, or am I missing something?


/Bob Wills hollering is the happiest sound ever recorded
//might start calling it 'omnipresent falsetto ejaculations' now

"I approve of this release."

Along a spot I know, where the pale moon glows
The shadows that wash the gloom
I was riding free, on that old SP
humming a southern tune
when a man came along
made me hush my song
kicked me off a way out there

I'm getting awful tired of these yellow-bellied Paste hipsters, dag nabbit.

i totally read, "Ejaculations can gag a longhorn steer"

/super dyslexia powers activate!

Ask the same of the reviewer first. So many writers/reviewers/critics are completely unable to write a positive review, they always have to find some fault. In this case, Wills' signature "ahhhh-haaaa!" yelp makes his widdo eaws huwt, and he feels the need to make sure we all know that he considers it to be "intrusively annoying", even though this release is a historic document. The same kind of lame-ass looks at the Declaration of Independence and makes idiotic comments about John Hancock.

/rant over
//ahhhhh-haaaaaaa!!!

Whoever wrote that blurb ought to have my size 15 boot up the ass.

Bob Wills and his band are the farking man. That is all.

/Roly Poly ftw.
