Synopsis

Album Description
Ya got a patch of prairie out your front door? Do campfires dot the night when the sun goes down? If you do, we have the perfect collection for you; and if not, well, then let us bring the range home to you, as we present 40 classic performances by singing sons and daughters of the West, taken from vintage radio broadcasts. Some of the folks here are big stars, others are known mostly to Western music fans, but all won their spurs by singing songs like these: 'Jack of Diamonds; Old Saddle Pony' Plainsmen; 'Timber; Just a Happy Rovin? Cowboy' Sons of the Pioneers; 'Home on the Range' Dale Evans & the Sons of the Pioneers; 'My Heart Is Down Texas Way; Frankie and Johnnie; Two-Seated Saddle and a One-Gaited Horse' Dale Evans; 'Lights of Old Santa Fe' Roy Rogers & Dale Evans; 'Cowboy Wedding; When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold' Roy Rogers; 'Rock Me to Sleep in My Saddle' Roy Rogers & the Sons of the Pioneers; 'No Letter Today; Walkin? the Floor over You; Along the Navajo Trail' Judy Canova; 'The Ballad of the Bo Weevil' Tex Ritter; 'Have I Told You Lately That I Love You' Patsy Montana; 'Down in the Little Green Valley; Jesse James; Froggy Went A Courtin?' Rhubarb Red; 'When I Talk to Myself about You; I Have to Live and Learn' Eddy Arnold; 'It Makes No Difference Now/You Are My Sunshine; There?s a New Moon over My Shoulder' Gov. Jimmie Davis; 'Darlin? What More Can I Do?' Elton Britt; 'When It?s Twilight Time on the Trail' Pat Friday; 'Too Late' Jimmy Wakely; 'Gonna Build a Big Fence Around Texas' Cowboy Joe Randall; 'I Cried Myself over You; Cool Water; New San Antonio Rose; Out on the Open Range' Riders of the Purple Sage; 'I Don?t Want to Be Free' Tex Williams; 'Ridin? Down the Trail Together' Johnson Sisters; 'Shame, Shame on You' Spade Cooley; 'Along the Sleepy Rio Grande' Johnny Lee Wills; 'Too Late' Laura Lee Owens & Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys; 'Right or Wrong; Get Along Home Cindy' Tommy Duncan & Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, and 'My Confession' Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys.

CD Reviews

A delightful set of great old cowboy corn
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 09/29/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Super-groovy old recordings culled from various 1940s radio performances... It's the cream of the crop of both the "singing cowboys" scene and the western swing crowd, with headliners such as Elton Britt, Tex Ritter, Jimmie Davis, Bob and Johnnie Lee Wills, Eddy Arnold, Dale Evans, Roy Rogers and the ever-fab Sons Of The Pioneers, as well as a few less-well known singers... All of them are in fine form, and this 2-CD set is a delight from start to finish, with pleasantly recognizable big hits and kooky one-off novelty songs (such as "Gonna Build A Big Fence Around Texas," by Cowboy Joe Randall), all of which will bring a smile to your face, and make you hum along. Great fun... highly recommended!"
