"Major Bill's Texas Rock and Roll" 1979

Down in Texas you kind of expect everything to come outsize, the whole place is just imbued with a sense of massiveness. So it is with something of a sense of shock that you find that Major Bill Smith is not a towering 7ft giant in keeping with his musical reputation. For down in Fort Worth, the Major (USAF retired) is as Mac Curtis put it: "the Head Duck". He's into his third decade recording, promoting, and every now and again seeing his products hit the charts worldwide. In his time he's recorded over 3000 records, had four gold records and a platinum, which as he says, "is pretty good, ain't nobody down my part of the country ever done it." And what's more he isn't finished yet, he's still trying for that next "cottonpickin' hit record". - excerpt from the liner notes
