February 27th, 2011 at 7:46pmWhat Makes Bob Holler 3 1/2 STARS
Hot Club of CowtownProbably around the 10,000th tribute album to Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, this young, tight trio’s version nicely balances good, less-covered songs (“She’s Killing Me,” “The Devil Ain’t Lazy”) with the usual suspects (“Stay a Little Longer,” a lovely all-instrumental “Faded Love” and the inevitable – especially for this band – “Big Ball in Cowtown”). Hot Club has sounded a little precious on previous recordings, but this full-out blast of classic Western swing seems to have loosened it up just enough to make ’em play like they’re at a real party. And Elana James’ voice never rang clearer, more precise and casually authoritative.

Did she ever join the HCoC onstage? That would’ve been cool to see!
Wonderful photo. Sending hugs to you and Lupa.
I really love this photo. These moments are irreplaceable. We have so many pictures and videos of my dad with the many musicians and singers that he played with, and so many of them are lifelong friends. Just like those smiles we see on you and your mom, we get to see in those shots we have. Such a clear reminder of all the fun and laughs we had over the many years. There is nothing else like music to bring us all together.
We are honored and excited--as we always are--to be back at The Continental Club tomorrow evening, Wednesday, December 11th, for our last cherished Happy Hour of the year! 6:30 - 9 PM. FREE. Hope you'll join us, Austin....ā” šā¤ļøāļø
