The Arizona Cowboy
-Rex Allen GME 1014

In 1972, Rex Allen recorded his classic LP, Rex Allen Sings Bony-Kneed, Hairy Legged Cowboy Songs. Now, Snuff Garrett has re-mastered the tracks from the old LP and added new ones like a previously unreleased 1998 version of Rex's movie theme, "Arizona Cowboy," backed by the Reinsmen.

This wonderful album of 14 selections is a "must" for every Western music fan! In addition to Rex's great interpretations of traditional songs like "When the Work's All Done This Fall" and "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail," you can hear his narrations of "Droop Ears" and "Braggin' Drunk from Willcox." He also introduces his own fiddle medley. The CD is illustrated with 13 rare, superb photos, 7 of which are in color!

Don't miss this one!

If you love the old singin' Cowboys, then you can't afford not to have Rex Allen in your music collection along with your Roy and Gene. I first knew of Rex Allen mostly from his narration of the Walt Disney nature films and had the honor of meeting him at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. It was years later after VHS and DVD's were available that I got to see him as a Singing Arizona Cowboy. This album is a MUST HAVE! Highest recommendation.

Mark from Oklahoma!
