Roy Newman and the Boys was a very versatile western swing band from the mid 30s to the early 40s. The many changes of personnel through this short career created a rich variety in sound. Some of the singers were none other than Jim Boyd, Earl Brown, Gene Sullivan, Ray Lackland, Julian Akins and Charlie Lockhart. Some of the musicians were Bob Dunn <steel guitar>, Julian Akins <lead guitar>, Jim Boyd <guitar>, George Bell <piano>, Cecil Brower <fiddle>, Holly Horton <clarinet>, Buddy Neal <guitar>, Thurman Neal <fiddle>. Hardly any of the songs included in this CD have been re-issued before. If you love a great variety in western swing then this album is an absolutely must.
