"I have no doubt this is good music. However, it is clearly not what it claims to be a Tommy Duncan Album. True fans like myself search the world for an album made by Tommy Duncan's Western Swing All Stars, the group Tommy put together when he was fired by Bob Wills around 1948. That band included a number of great players who had work with wills in the 1940s including my favorite, Jim Joe Holly. Only expensive import cdes of that band are currently available.



However, this is a mixture of recordings by Tommy Duncan, mostly with Wills, and recordings Bob Wills did after he fired Duncan with his brother Billy Jack Wills and other singing. Most serious fans like myself already have all of these sides. Unfortunately we need to look elsewhere for a real Tommy Duncan Cd"
