Johnny Bush Sings Bob Wills

Johnny Bush Sings Bob Wills is an airy, 10-song-in-26-minutes big-band salute to the King of Western Swing that was recorded at Willie Nelson's Perdenales studio in 1990 (at the precise time the IRS swooped in and padlocked the place until Nelson resolved that mess). Yet the sands of time have been kind to Sings Bob Wills. The two-trumpet, double fiddle, sax, trombone, and multi-guitar-layered attack provide the perfect panorama for for Bush's expressive singing and buoyant arrangements. Merle Haggard's "Don't Sing Me Songs About Texas" done with guest singer Hank Thompson, and the class "South of the Border" breath heartily with fiddles and horns allowing each other plenty of leeway. Willie Nelson's vocal contributions to "Time Changes Everything" offers a vibrato so similar to Bush that you wonder if they were seperated at birth. Bush even floats an entertaining instrumental rendition of "Jersey Bounce" just so he can feature his band. Now how cool is that?
