The ETS recorded 10 sides between December 1927 and November 1930. This waltz, composed by Daniel H. Williams, was their first return to recording after 7 years. By this time, ETS’s tenor banjo player, John Munnerlyn, had moved out of the area. Henry Lester, harmony fiddle, joined the band after playing at a party with ETS. With the popularity of Western Swing on the rise, the recording companies were eager to have twin fiddles and the ETS had a new band member. Henry’s brother, Shorty, also joined the group as the new tenor banjo player.
“Del Rio” was the first track we recorded for this record. The more fiddles we added the better it got. And that’s when it dawned on Matt. More is…. more. Less isn’t more, despite what you may have read. More is more. Why is there bass and cello? Because more is more. Why are there four guitars? Because only giving you two guitars would be half as many guitars as four. And that’s how the Allsorts Orchestra was born. “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.” – William Blake
