Right or Wrong – Bob Wills' Texas Playboys - Leon Rausch
Tommy Allsup: Emmett Miller, a blackface singer first came out with this song in 1925. Later, Bob Wills made a great recording, and recently George Strait had a hit on it. But Emmett Miller recorded it first, way back in the 20's. Miller was a yodeler even before Jimmie Rogers, and he had a large influence on Bob Wills and Tommy Duncan. You know, Bob played a lot of Dixieland jazz. Bob hired a bunch of horn players when he was in Tulsa. He wasn't allowed to join the musicians union until he added those horn players. Before that they said he was too country. But Bob's music was always real diverse. He let his guys play the best solos they could. Buddy was the same way. Buddy wasn't afraid to try new things and let his guys do the best solos they could. When I was playing with Buddy, he really let me play. Buddy really wanted you to let the people know that you've done something.
