Both Willing CDs contain a total of 40 tracks that have only been issued for radio use on Teleways transcriptions in the late 1940s before this with fiddle, steel, accordion, clarinet, guitar and bass accompaniment. Some items were also recorded for Majestic, but are not identic with the Teleways versions, of course. Known names of musicians are Johnny Paul, Jerry Vaughn and Bud Sievert. Great trio singing with a wider range of instruments than ever used by The Sons of Pioneers. One of the best western trios the 1940s had to offer.
