Dale Watson`s Honky Tonk Swing Album!________________________

Well, this is it! Honky Tonk Swing songs that I would like to think would have been conjured up if Dean Martin had tee many Martooni’s with Bob Wills and Lefty. Actually I know the end result would have been mind boggling better, but here is what is the result of listening to all of them a lot in my life. It was a fun album to make and I hope you can hear it in the music. Knowing my ignorance of how big band music is supposed to be produced, I just went with my instincts, and hoped the end result didn’t stink, haha. I could never sing a song without making it sound country so I don’t try to change that fact here. I hope you enjoy this little detour off the hard-core country road just to salute the influences of people like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole and of course the western swingmaster Bob Wills.
