Roy Rogers was a hero to me asa child, young adult and even now as an old adult. To be able to own a collectionof his music like this is beyond words. The music is a very good representation of his career in the movies. Thetribute to him by Dusty is something every parent would be proud of.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most pleasant, relaxing recordings I've heard., July 28, 1999

The purity of the blending of the voices is something not easily found today. There is no need to protect children from the lyrics. Roy Rogers and his associates always present an uplifting choice of music, lyrics, and pure entertainment. Their comedy skits are not only funny, but CLEAN! They did not need sex and violence to entertain their audiences, and hearing them again is a pure joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding music at an outstanding value, July 3, 1999

As other reviews have stated, this is a Roy Rogers fans never heard on pro recordings. And hearing the slightly different arrangements as well as the exceptional backup vocals with the Pioneers and Riders of the Purple Sage add even more magic to already excellent songs.The pristing quality of the tracks as well as the excellent packaging and VERY informative booklet are worth the price of admission alone. But it's the music that captures the imagination and brings a smile and even a tear to the eye as Roy yodels, does a square dance call, banters with Dale and Gabby, and just charms the socks off of listeners of the programs not only in the 1940's and 50's, but today as well. The songs from later in his career let us hear an older but still wonderful voice. It definitely is music I would never be ashamed or embarrassed to let my parents or my kids hear.I sure hope Dusty, Larry Zwisohn and Rhino Records will work together to release more of this priceless and uniquely American music.
