Bob Skyles & His Skyrockets 1937-1940
This Western Swing band at times came close to the novelty category, throwing slide whistle and vaudeville into the mix. But they could play with such heat and devil-may-care attitude that they often emerged as one of the most irresistible bands in the land. The Skyrockets have been mostly ignored in the reissue market 'til now; here are 27 Skyrockets essentials, 24 of 'em never reissued! 24-page booklet, too.
