Roy Rogers Country Music Audio CD

Roy Rogers King of the Cowboys [ASV/Living Era]
Roy Rogers Country Music Audio CD
Originally a trio, Roy Rogers co-founded the Sons of the Pioneers with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer in 1934. The group's original 1934 version of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" (recorded on August 8, 1934 and featured on this album) was a No. 13 pop hit for the group on Decca Records.
Roy was still part of the Sons of the Pioneers when three Bob Nolan-written songs, "The Devil's Great-Grandson," "When the Golden Train Comes Down" and "Hold That Critter Down" were recorded in L.A. on December 14, 1937 for the ARC label, which shortly afterwards became Columbia Records. The Pioneer harmony is tight here with Bob Nolan and Lloyd Perryman sharing the lead vocal spotlight with Roy on all these tunes.
Roy was an accomplished square dance caller. RCA Victor used fiddler Spade Cooley & his Buckle Busters as Roy's backup band for a square dance tune called "Round That Couple Go Through and Swing." This recording was made in Los Angeles on September 3, 1940.
Afterwards, Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers went their separate ways. RCA Victor re-united them on August 10, 1945 and cut "Along the Navajo Trail." This version is one of the best recordings of this song ever made. The Pioneers limits itself to handling the backup vocals, while Perry Botkin's orchestra provides the music for the session. "Rock Me to Sleep in My Saddle" (recorded January 10, 1946) is an easy going tune with some nice steel guitar work and an infectious clip-clop beat. "I Can't Go On This Way" (also recorded January 10, 1946)is one of the best songs on the album--with its catchy lyrics and decidely pop music sound supplied by the Morton Scott orchestra with its violins, horns and accordion. |

Roy Rogers A&E Biography
Roy Rogers Country Music
Roy Rogers remains a beloved American hero. He basically played himself. This album includes some wonderful recordings. There are a few older cuts from the 40s and 50s on RCA. But most of the recordings are from the 60s and 70s on Capitol. Dale Evans is on two cuts. There are only a few cowboy songs on this collection. Most are of a country vein. Some of the best cuts are the previously unreleased songs. Where have they been? How come they were in the vaults so long? My favorite is Sunday Kind Of Love. Contrary to some descriptions, Hoppy, Gene, and Me isn't on this album. My beefs are very few. Some information about the recordings, especially the "new stuff," would have been nice. As with too many great albums, you wish it was longer. The album ends with a goodbye from one of his radio shows. You hear a little of Tumbling Tumbleweeds. This is a good introduction to Roy Rogers' outstanding singing and yodeling.
There is one Gospel song. Dale Evans said that she wrote The Bible Tells Me So in a few minutes. It was the title song of their debut album with Capitol.
This product is announced as a Roy Rogers A&E biography. Instead, it is a audio CD. The CD is fine. We love Roy Rogers. But what this has to do with A&E biography, I still can't figure out. I was careless in my ordering--not to see it was a CD, but it was misleading. |
Country Music Hall of Fame Roy Rogers
Before his rise as a film and television star, Roy Rogers had a significant impact on country music, first as a member of the Sons of the Pioneers, then as a solo act. This 16-song set chronicles his recordings for Decca in the 1930s and '40s. Rogers's delightful voice rings out high above the music on these classics, displaying a beautiful tone and depth of emotion. Two early hits with the Sons kick off the collection: "I'm an Old Cowhand," a swinging romp complete with perfect harmonies, group yodels, and Hugh Farr's sprite fiddle; and "Moonlight on the Prairie," a soft ballad of the plains on which Farr's somber fiddle work adds to the lonesome mood. Rogers's solo work focuses attention on his own considerable vocal talents through a range of material: songs from the books of Gene Autry and Bob Wills, cowboy love songs, World War II-era laments, and most significantly, tributes to the open spaces of the Old West. --Marc Greilsamer
