Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fusing traditional fiddle tunes with the driving syncopation of a big band horn section, this upbeat anthem became a definitive staple of the Western swing repertoire. The charismatic bandleader punctuates the infectious dance rhythms with his trademark energetic vocal asides. The single captures the exuberant, genre-blending sound that dominated Southwestern dance halls during the 1940s.
