Corrine, Corrina - Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys

Corrine, Corrina - Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys
3:25
single, 1940
Written by Charlie McCoy and Bo Chatman, 1928

I thought this song was traditional, but I guess it's credited to the people who first recorded it.  Everybody and their brother has done this song, even Cab Calloway!  I've heard a couple, but am really only familiar with Bob's version.  Anyhoo, this is a great example of jaunty Western swing.  It's a honky-tonk blend of steel guitar twang, piano, and big-band shuffle styles.  The vocal is heavy on aw-shucks personality ("I love Corrina / You know darn well I do"), peppered with cowboy interjections.
