Thanks for posting this Uncle Gil. For what it's worth, I have to set the record straight about this album. First off Bob Wills does not perform on any of the selections nor was he even present on this album anywhere on any of the songs. On top of that it is not really a 'live' album - if you listen closely to the applause before and after each song, it is the same applause bits on each track taken from some live performance or show. The tracks were recorded over a few months in several sessions in at least two studios back in 1970 (after Merle Haggard's 'Best Damn Fiddle Player in the World' tribute to Bob Wills came out in fall 1970.) Some of which were cut in Dallas and others in Nashville featuring some former members of Bob Wills famed Texas Playboys including Dallas based former Wills guitarist Walter Lyons (who produced the album), as well as ex-Playboy fiddlers Gene Gasaway and Jimmy Belken (both of whom played for Mel Tillis in his famous award-winning 'State Siders' band, and guest Nashville session musician and former Playboys fiddler and electric mandolin ace Johnny Gimble on at least one track (notably 'Roly Poly') who also supplied rhythm tenor banjo overdubs on most of the songs. Also note-worthy is the appearance on a few of the tracks featuring the great Buddy Emmons on pedal steel guitar, who also played off and on with Tillis, and was a bourgeoning Music City session ace at the time in the Nashville studios where the balance of the tracks were recorded and mixed. The rest of the band is made up of Mel's State Siders. The original title of the album was 'Mel Tillis Joins the Bob Wills Roadshow LIVE in Texas' which was scrapped after Wills had strokes and heart attacks and was unable to perform or even be present for the recordings. MCA passed this album off erroneously titled 'In Person' to credit Wills with the so-called 'In Person' release as he owed them an album but was unable to deliver after his health challenges of late 1969 and early 1970. It's still a great album and shows off what a Wills appreciator Mel Tillis was and how great he and his band was at playing Wills brand of western swing. Thanks again!
@Diogenes: Thanks for this interesting explanation.
