Each of these albums is now available online, and sound samples are on
each individual page. Click on the volume numbers to get more details about
each album.
Volume 1 -
"How The West Was Swung"
The first volume in the series. We have to start somewhere and here's Tom
Morrell with an All Star cast of players swinging your ears with Western Swing
Greats. The party starts with this release.
Volumes 2 and 3 - "Let's Ride
With Bob & Tommy"
Tom teams up with steel guitar legend Bobby Koefer to continue the series. This
is where the steel guitar really starts to shine with two of the world's best
trading licks. this double album features performances by Craig
Chambers, Leon Rausch and others.
Volume 4 - "Pterodactyl
Ptales"
The "Animals" are loosed from their cages and stampede across the
audio domain like a flock of flying pterodactyls. These animals may be
dinosaurs but they certainly can cook on those licks.
Volume 5 - "GO UPTOWN"
The legend continues with this CD of some of the best in swing-era music. Great
performances by a great team.
Volume 6 - "Smoke A Little Of
This"
What have these guys been smoking? Whatever it is, the musical result is
stunning. Volume 6 will leave even non-smokers breathless.
Volume 7 - "No Peddlers
Allowed"
How do these guys pull this off with their knee bars tied behind their
backs? I thought it was called "pedal steel guitar." No pedals
allowed on this CD and still the boys spit out some of the tastiest (and for
you steel guitar aficionados - hardest) licks you've ever heard.
Volume 8 - "On The Money"
On the money is not only the title but the description of these great sessions.
The performances are dead center on target with another All Star Western Swing
cast of killer musicians and memorable performances.
Volume 9 - "Son Of No Peddlers
Allowed"
Again Tommy has corralled the Tophands into recording with no pedals. This CD
features a Who's Who of Western swing including Tom Morrell, Jerry Byrd, Bob
White, Billy Braddy, Lanny Long, Pee Wee Whitewing and Chris O'Connell.
