Critic's Review

4.0 out of 5 stars Greg Adams, All Music Guide
Shame On You collects 25 previously unreleased radio transcriptions recorded in 1944-1945, nine of which feature Tex Williams on vocals. The title track is a version of Cooley's number one hit from 1945, and the other material runs the gamut from polkas ("Cowbell Polka," "Yodeling Polka") and hillbilly hoe-downs ("Down Home Rag") to tunes that have become instrumental standards ("Steel Guitar Rag," "Silver Bell.") The sound quality is excellent, and Shame on You is a fine companion piece to Spadella!, Columbia's collection of Cooley's classic OKeh sides.
