		The title must be taken with a grain of salt, since this CD is devoted toTex Williams' two major periods with Shasta Records, from 1959 through 1962 and the late '70s, not his classic Capitol material.
		On the other hand, Williams' country baritone was in superb shape for these sessions, and it is a very good album, regardless of its unfortunate title.
		Williams' remake of "Shame on You," from his days with Spade Cooley, starts things off extremely well, in lively, vibrant fashion.

		Jasmine's A Western Swing Date With Spade and Tex is a collection of radio transcriptions of what we have to assume is Cooley's band after Tex Williams left (as the vocals are handled by Del Porter and Red Egner) and by Williams' newly formed band.
		It's a collection of radio transcriptions from what must be early 1946, shortly before Williams left the band, when they were at the height of their popularity.
