This CD collection is a wonderful sampling of songs written by today's songwriters about cowboy stars from the past.
Since there are so many songwriters and singers included in this collection it is difficult to single out any of the songs on the 2 CDs. But the one singer-songwriter who should be praised above all others is Marvin O'Dell. Not only was he the Producer of this excellent collection, he also wrote or co-wrote 10 of the 24 songs on this CD set. Also, He was singer on four of the song tracks.
When reviewing a CD, It is customary to mention a few songs, so I just list some of the ones I liked the most:
Disc One:
"Rough Ridin' Cowboy Heroes" - Tom Hiatt (a great opening song for the set)
"When Roy Rogers Was Around" - Bill Barwick
"Where Would We Be (Without the Sons of the Pioneers) - Journey West
"Goodbye Tex Ritter" - Brian Golbey
"I Miss John Wayne" - Dan Roberts
Disc Two:
"To Hear Gene Autry Sing" - Doc Stovall
"In Those Alabama Hills" - Kip Calahan
"Hoppy (Ridin' the Range in Black and White)" - Tom Hiatt
"Ol Gabby Hayes" - Marvin O'Dell
"They Can't Take Away the Old Cowboy Songs" - Joe BaerBut heck, all the songs on the 2 CDs are worth a listen.
So saddle up and ride on over to this CD set to hear some rip-snortin' songs about cowboy stars from yesteryear.
It's 24 tracks of nostalgic Silver Screen cowboy enjoyment.
