Title: Prime Wills
Product review: This package is a must! While some feel that these recordings are a step down from the Columbia years of the 30s and early 40s, I feel like the MGM years are actually the realization of everything that came before. It's remarkable how much spirit there was in these recordings, considering Bob's popularity was waning. You'd never know it! Also, while Tommy Duncan was Bob's best loved and known vocalist, I think everyone who fills in for him after 1948 when he left is just as good. It makes it interesting to hear the different vocal styles and adds variety to the classic Wills sound. Get this package. It's probably the best primer for the money if you've never heard Bob, and a great place to go if you already have the Columbia recordings. Enjoy. There'll never be another one like Bob Wills!
