Sealed 1970 US Pressing (Unable To Confirm Label Colour/If Its Reissue But Has No Bar Code). "After Releasing His Tribute To Jimmie Rodgers, Merle Haggard Immediately Set About Working On A Tribute To His Other Major Musical Idol, Bob Wills. Haggard Learned How To Play Fiddle And, Within A Month, He Recruited Many Of The Original Playboys To Augment The Strangers And Began Recording The Album That Became A Tribute To The Best Damn Fiddle Player (Or My Salute To Bob Wills). Where Same Train, Different Time Was A Measured, Heartfelt Tribute, Best Damn Fiddle Player Is A Ragged, Enthusiastic Good Time. Haggard, The Strangers, And The Playboys Play Their Hearts Out, Breathing Life Into Wills Warhorses Like "Right Or Wrong," "Stay A Little Longer," "Time Changes Everything," And "San Antonio Rose," While Bringing Attention To Lesser-known Songs Like "Brain Cloudy Blues," "I Knew The Moment I Lost You," And "Old-fashioned Love." The Fact That Western Swing Re-established Itself As A Viable Country Genre After The Release Of A Tribute To The Best Damn Fiddle Player Is A Testament To The Power And Charm Of This Record."
