In den späten 1940er Jahren übernahm Billy Jack Wills die Leitung von Wills Point, Bobs Club in Sacramento. Während Bob und die Texas Playboys wieder auf Tour gingen, gründete Billy Jack die Hausband, die ihn bei diesen Aufnahmen begleitete. Der legendäre Playboy Tiny Moore wollte nicht länger mit Bob unterwegs sein und wurde zum Co-Sänger in Billy Jacks Western Swing Band. Zur Band gehörten auch der Trompeter Dick McComb, der Fiddler und Bassist Cotton Roberts, der Rhythmusgitarrist Kenny Lowery und etwas später der Teenie-Steel-Gitarrist Vance Terry. Vance verehrte den jazzigen hawaiianischen Stil von Noel Boggs.
Da Billy Jack zwanzig Jahre jünger war als Bob, hatte er hippere Einflüsse als sein großer Bruder. Billy und Tiny leiteten die progressivste Band der frühen und mittleren 50er Jahre. Billy Jack ermutigte seine Mitglieder auch zum Improvisieren. Trotz der jazzigen Soli von Terry und McComb hatte Billy Jacks Western Swing Band den härtesten Backbeat der damaligen Country-Musik. Billy Jacks Band war nah am Rock & Roll. Die Kapelle hatte eine starke Anhängerschaft im Nordwesten der USA, und ihre Coverversionen von R & B-Hits des Tages waren Dancefloor-Magnete.
Bear Family Records® präsentiert Billy Jack Wills Western Swing Band im Zenit ihres jazzig-rockigen Rhythm & Western mit großartigen Versionen von Good Rockin' Tonight, Crazy Man Crazy, All She Wants to Do Is Rock neben (Western) Swing-Klassikern wie Air Mail Special, C-Jam Blues, und Wills‘ Aushängeschild Cadillac in Model' A'. Bear Family Records® präsentiert die MGM-Version UND das rockige Radio-Transkript des Klassikers, aufgenommen in den KFBK Studios, Sacramento, CA. Die meisten anderen Lieder stammen ebenfalls aus den Sacramento-Sessions von 1952-54. Die meisten Western-Swing-Bands liefen während der gängigen Radio-Aufnahmen zu Höchstleistungen auf - die Ungezwungenheit der Sessions kam den hochklassigen Improvisateuren entgegen. Damit übertreffen die Tracks jede kommerzielle Studioaufnahme der damaligen Zeit. Hier sind 31 Songs von Billy Jack Wills und seiner Western Swing Band – vom Feinsten!

That is why we love Bear Family Records!
So this cat Billy Jack Wills was apparently one big-time bad-ass in his day and this is why we love Bear Family Records, the German label who takes so many forgotten American pioneers, resurrects them from underneath the dustbin of history, and returns them to their former glory. Dwight Yoakam and Marty Stuart taught us that true unvarnished hillbilly music is actually cool, not a degrading epithet to be called such, more like a badge of honor. White Soul! (Let us not forget that when Elvis was changing the world, he called himself “The Hillbilly Cat.”)
Cadillac In Model “A”: Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight by Memphis native Billy Jack Wills is a stone keeper. Billy Jack was 20 years younger than his legendary brother Bob "The King Of Western Swing" Wills who installed him as part-time bassist and drummer for his Texas Playboys before sending him out west to California to run The Wills Point Club in Sacramento. So Billy Jack goes and forms a house band so hard-charging and in-your face, it becomes one of the hippest bands of the 1940s and early ‘50s. They had the wildest backbeat in all of country music. They could swing mightily. They could do the bop, do the stroll, they improvised jam-band style, they even took some cues from Hawaiian music. They stopped just short of rockin’ and rollin’ since there was no such thing at the time…but you’d be hard-pressed to believe that by listening to these 31 tracks, especially “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” “Crazy Man Crazy,” “All She Wants To Do Is Rock” and “C-Jam Blues.”
The HARDEST BACKBEAT in Country Music!
Billy Jack and the boys merge, western swing, jazz and the emerging rock 'n' roll genre cover tracks like 'Crazy Man Crazy' and 'Good Rockin' Tonight' in their own style.
Billy Jack's Western Swing Band had the heaviest backbeat in country music
Billy Jack Wills, the youngest brother of western swing legend Bob Wills, gets a nice release in the "Gonna Shake This Chess Tonight" series, which includes releases from 1951-56 for the 4-Star and MGM labels and 18 recordings from radio transcriptions from 1952-54.Billy was born on February 26, 1926 in Memphis, Hall County, Texas and began as Johnnie Lee Will's bass player in his teens. But Bob Wills wanted him to come to California and join the Texas Playboys as bassist and drummer. He also turned out to be a good singer, and he proved his creativity by writing the lyrics to "Faded Love," Wills' huge hit in 1950. In the late 1940s, Billy Jack Wills took over the management of Wills Point, Bob's club in Sacramento. While Bob and the Texas Playboys went on tour again, Billy Jack formed his own band to perform at the club. Tiny Moore, from Will's band, was tired of touring and became the star of the club and also the vocalist with Billy in his band, Billy Jack's Wes- tern Swing Band. The band also included Dick McComb (trumpet/bass), Cotton Roberts (fiddle/bass), Kenny Lowery (acoustic guitar) and Vance Terry (steel guitar). Being twenty years younger than Bob, Billy Jack's musical influences were not the same as Bob's. Billy and Tiny had the most progressive band in the early and mid-1950s. Billy Jack also encouraged his members to improvise. Despite Terry and McComb's jazzy solos, Billy Jack's Western Swing Band had the heaviest backbeat in country music. Billy Jack presents his versions of "Good Rockin' Tonight", "Crazy Man Crazy", "All She Wants To Do Is Rock" and not to forget "Air Mail Special", "C-Jam Blues" and "Cadillac in Model 'A'". Informative text in the booklet by Roland Heinrich and a detailed discography.
