If you've ever wondered why Western Swing fans from the South use the expression "Take it away, Leon," pick up a copy of this record and get educated. Leon McAullife was one of the most talented steel guitarists to ever commit his sound to record, and while he's known for his work with the Texas Playboys (where always-enthusiastic band leader Bob Wills would introduce his solos by exhorting him to "Take it away"), he also left behind an impressive body of solo work. TAKE OFF AND MORE serves as a great introduction to steel guitar aficionados and newcomers alike.
