Bob Wills' entry into the Castle Pulse label's Famous Country Music Makers series relies heavily on the legendary King of Western Swing's 1940s heydays with the Texas Playboys, which means a host of Wills classics like "Right or Wrong," "Time Changes Everything," "New San Antonio Rose," and "Bubbles in My Beer." As it stands, this a good budget-priced entry point for potential fans, but a lousy collection for longtime listeners who would be better off with something more comprehensive like JSP's four-disc King of Western Swing box or Columbia/Legacy's similarly mammoth Legends of Country Music. ~ James Christopher Monger|
