This album hits the marketplace after being held hostage by the IRS, who confiscated the master tapes when they seized Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio, where it was recorded in 1994. After a length battle to regain the tapes, the CD now hits a marketplace ripe for the venerable swing sound pioneered by Bob Wills.

As the title says, this disc matches one of the greatest voices of Texas country music with the legacy of Western swing pioneer Bob Wills. Not only does this set pay tribute to Wills, whose musical innovations are among the greatest Texan contributions to American popular culture, but it also offers a homage to an entire Lone Star tradition. With the music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys as its centerpiece, the album also salutes such fellow Texans as Marty Robbins and RayPrice, and features cameos by such esteemed artists as Willie Nelson and Hank Thompson. Yet just as much as Bush revisits the Bob Wills tradition on this disc, he also carves his own signature into the Western swing tradition. One of the Lone Star state's most dynamic secrets, Bush is known to his fellow Texans and music buffs worldwide as a honky-tonk superstar on the order of Geogre Jones, Lefty Frizzell and RayPrice. Dubbed the "Country Caruso," Bush delivers the latest and greatest chapter in the Western swing songbook with a vivid, evocative delivery that projects visions of the packed clubs and dancehalls that Johnny Bush and The Bandoleros have been entertaining for decades.
