Editorial Review:
Remastered. If any one album deserves credit for ushering in the Western swing revival, it's this previously buried treasure from 1970. Haggard taught himself to play fiddle before recording this album and augmented his band with members of Wills's pioneering Texas Playboys, including guitarist Eldon Shamblin and fiddler Johnny Gimble. Merle would become a more fluid fiddler in the future, and the Strangers would swing more cohesively, but that doesn't take away from the chemistry or adventurousness in this, his first effort in the genre. BGO. 2006.
Digitally Remastered Edition that Combines the Tracks of Two Original LP Classics on to a Single Compact Disc. "Tribute..." Was Recorded Shortly after Famed Bandleader Bob Wills Had Been Cited by the Texas Legislature and Taken Ill Shortly After. Haggard Made it his Mission to Heighten Public Awareness of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys Contribution to Modern Music by Reuniting as Many Members of the Original Band that Would Participate in These Sessions Along with his Own Band the Strangers. The Album Accomplished It's Goal and Became the Precusor of Many Tributes by Others that Would Follow in the Years to Come. "it's all in the Movies" was Just One of Two Album Releases in 1975 and Finally Makes Its CD Debut on this Set. Includes the Hit Title Track and the Bob Wills Inspired "Living with the Shades Pulled Down".

In a way its amazing that Record buyers from the 60's and 70's bought albums with 30 minutes of music, but today we can reap the benefits of two albums plus some well worth bonus tracks on one CD. As to the Music its a pure delight. Merle Haggard plays tribute to his musical idol Bob Wills on the 1st half of this CD. Its great and many of the original Texas Playboys play ... Read More
