Rating: - W. Lee Western Swing Chronicles Volume 4
I have other cassettes by this artists. But they do not even compare to this CD. To me this is the best collection of W. Lee and His Boys. It gives you a good rounded out look at what a great band they were. I would highly recommend it to any one who is looking for him. Again thanks greatly to the person who put together this CD a very well done job. Excellent in every way. Shows you all of their different muscial talents. I would greatly recommend this to everyone.
