"I heard about Bob Wills a long time ago via Waylon Jennings ("Bob Wills is Still the King"). 20 years later I decided to find out what all the fuss was about.
I found out.
His sense of style, musical mastery and storytelling is in a league of its own.
Something else though.....sure, he does his share of "she took my dog, she took my pick-up truck"....however his music has a joy, rhythm and optimism that lifts the soul.
This compilation is too good to be true - the quality, the quantity, the price - what's going on here?
And Tommy Donkin (that's how I heard his name pronounced by Waylon for those 20 years) has a voice to enjoy and love.
This is a Box Set (4 discs, more than 100 songs)from heaven, even for someone who's not been within 8,000 miles of Texas."
