What Makes Bob Holler

Recorded in three days but 12 years in the making, the new CD by Hot Club Of Cowtown is a tribute to their foremost influence and inspiration, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The idea was to capture the jubilant energy and fine musicianship as if the band was playing at a dance or in concert. This is the way Western Swing was meant to be played and heard! Taking time out from a recent tour in the United Kingdom, the band holed up in London's Specific Sound studio, set up the microphones and hit record! The Tiffany Transcription recordings Bob Wills made in 1946 were the fundamental inspiration for HCCT's repertoire and style. On "What Makes Bob Holler", the band meets fans' requests for HCCT renditions of Bob Wills hits balanced with less familiar songs and pays homage to the King of Western Swing, Bob Wills. This is what would make Bob holler!
