Take Me Back to Tulsa

~ Release by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

This 109 track monster includes every important track Wills recorded between the years 1932 and 1950 and illustrates how he revolutionised country music. The 52 page booklet tells Wills' fascinating story and includes session details and many rare photos.

Disc 1 track 18 is listed as the 1936 recording of "Basin Street Blues", but the 1946 Tiffany Transcriptions recording has been included by mistake.

Disc 2 track 10 is also mislabeled; it should be the 1938 recording of "My Window Faces the South" (vocal by Leon McAuliffe) but is actually the 1946 Tiffany transcription (vocal by Tommy Duncan).
