Anthology 1935-1973

Anthology 1935-1973 is a career spanning compilation that assembles recordings by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys from the mid 1930s through the early 1970s. It highlights the band’s Western swing approach, blending country, jazz and blues with driving dance rhythms, fiddles, steel guitar and horn textures, often featuring extended instrumental breaks and a loose, upbeat feel. The set provides a broad overview of the group’s stylistic range and its place in the development of dance oriented country music.
