"RAY IS UP TO PAR ON THIS ONE PROBABLY BECAUSE BOB INSPIRED HIM TO HIS COMEBACK IF YOU APPRECIATE CLASSIC COUNTRY THIS IS A MUST. ADD THIS ONE TO YOUR COLLECTION AND EVERYONE WHO HERES IT WILL WANT YOUR COPY. DAD ( THE FIDDLE REPAIR SPECIALIST ) LISTENS TO IT AS HE WORKS ON FIDDLES AND THEN PLAYS ALONG."
The first Bob Wills tribute album is also one of the best!

"Way back in 1961 Ray Price cut the first Bob Wills tribute album. Instead of trying to recreate the Wills sound, Price did Wills songs in his own unique Ray Price 4/4 shuffle beat style. It is hard to believe that Price and his band (including a young newcomer by the name of Willie Nelson) cut this 12 song album in eight hours. Though this album did not have the impact of Merle Haggard's tribute to Wills which came out nine years later, it is still an album every western swing fan should have in their collection."
