What you are about to hear is a random series of radio transcriptions (pre-made performances) made by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys in early 1945. Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys would make these radio transcriptions ahead of time for those days when they were too far away from the radio station to return to make their live daily broadcasts on time.
The DJ would create his own Bob Wills Show with these transcriptions even though the band was not in the studio. These performances were made and recorded at radio station KMJ in Fresno, California and broadcast on the Bob Wills Radio Network.
The audio isn’t great, but it isn’t bad. When this was collected over 35 years ago, this is the quality of most of the tapes that were available for collectors, and we were happy to have anything at all.
I hope you enjoy it.
I have digitally remastered the original radio broadcast recording for speed, clarity and stereo effect.
