Bob Wills - I Hear You Talkin'
I was in the mood to listen to some Guy "Cotton" Thompson a few weeks back and after spending about an hour trying to remember which songs he actually sang on I decided then and there to put together a compilation of his vocal works. Cotton Thompson is one of my all-time favorite western swing singers. He's right up there with Leon Huff, Leon McAuliffe and Tommy Duncan. It's a shame he didn't record more than he did. He was first and foremost a fiddle player, and a great one at that! But I find it sad that the Wills brothers in particular didn't take advantage of his singing talent. Here's a mix of what I could find with three songs from a couple movies he was in with Bob Wills. I believe there are at least another 3 or 4 songs with Cotton on vocals out there somewhere. If anyone knows of any please let me know. 10 of these songs were originally posted in the Dave Edwards & His Alabama Boys download.
