In the Spirit of Bob Wills and Django...

Here is a review by the Guardian of The Hot Club of Cowtown album titled What Makes Bob Holler. Hot Club's unique music is inspired by the jaunty Western Swing of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys as well as the legendary gypsy jazz guitar of Django Reinhardt.

To experience the rowdiest sounds of the old West, visit here.

For a taste of European jazz with Django, go here!

And here's a track from Bob to get you jazzed up for Cowtown! Alternately, you can spend some time with Django.



Now go forth, with your newfound knowledge of the roots of Western swing!
