The storyline is a typical "B" western storyline, but what carries the movie is the extraordinary music provided by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
Having grown up in and around Tulsa, I cut my teeth on Bob's music. Many of today's Country Music stars cite Bob as one of their influences, these include Asleep at the Wheel, Merle Haggard, and George Strait to name a few. For those who aren't familiar with Bob and the boys, and even for those who are familiar with them, this movie provides an excellent opportunity to see the "King of Western Swing" in action.
Granted, it's not one of the movies that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but rather it's one that you sit back and enjoy, savoring the great music. Who knows, you might even get a chuckle or two from the cornball humor as well.
