James Robert Wills (March 6, 1905 – May 13, 1975) was an American Western swing musician, songwriter, and bandleader. Considered by music authorities as the co-founder of Western swing, he was widely known as the King of Western Swing (although Spade Cooley self-promoted the moniker "King Of Western Swing" from 1942 to 1969).

Since its inception, Asleep at the Wheel has won nine Grammy awards, released more than 20 studio albums, and charted more than 20 singles on the Billboard country charts. This album is a perfect tribute to Wills and a wonderful introduction to western swing.

Like the Wheel’s earlier Wills tributes, it boasts a flashy cameo guest list. This album is just me trying to get younger and older Bob Wills aficionados together. Every time we put one of these out, I always say it’s the last one. But I shouldn’t say that because it’s not like this music ever died.
