Driving alot, I enjoy listening to the L'Amour stories of the old west while I drive. Much better than the talk shows and trying to get music I like. L'Amour is a great writer, and the stories, especially the short stories, are very well written and easy to get into while driving. Many of the tecno-thrillers are too complicated to listen to, but there are very few of his westerns that I have not enjoyed while driving. This is a nice collection of Louis L'Amour stories read by Jonny Cash and other great personalities.

It got here within a week and my Dad just about has it worn out already!

Thank you

I got this as a gift for my dad. He is an avid reader and Louis L'Amour is his favorite. I was worried that he would be embarrassed by the fact that it is getting hard for him to see the print in the books but when he saw it was narrated by all his favorite country singers he was thrilled with it. It is a nice presentation (it comes in a wood box) and with all the big name country stars it gives it a 'cool' factor.

The description said "THE LOUIS L'AMOUR COLLECTION". Consequently I expected to receive just that - the full collection. What I received was 20 volumes out of nearly 200. The description further advertised "MINT CONDITION". Some of the volumes were used by a child as a scrap book. I've been had and will be very cautious next time I order a similar item from Amazon and call customer service to find out what I will receive before I place an order.

This is a fantastic audio experience.
I love audio books on road trips. I download them into my iPod so I don't have to fiddle with discs while I'm driving.
Even if the stories aren't that great, a reader can more than make up for it.
Not the case with Louis L'Amour, of course, so The Highwaymen were just frosting on the cake.
It's a shame they all aren't around to collaborate on some more good ol' westerns. The sound effects were a nice surprise as well.
I keep dreaming that Sam Elliot will offer up his voice for audio books....
Not to be missed.

This is great. Bought it for my father who so loves to read, but it is getting hard for him.

I love Louis L'Amour westerns and I jumped at the chance to listen to several of his stories narrated by Willie Nelson and in two of them dramatized by others such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. Willie Nelson has a nice storyteller's voice and pace.

The stories are told in a variety of 3rd person and 1st person perspectives. They range from manhunts to range wars. The heroes are hard, upright men and the villains are greedy and conniving. I love the attention paid to historic detail- language, guns, landscape, clothing, and even thinking.
The stories may be short, but there is not shallowness or rushed pace.

It comes in a nice wooden collector's case.
I recommend this collection to any Louis L'Amour or Western fan.

I got these for a friend for christmas and he loved them, for some one who enjoys this kind of entertainment its great!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my aging father. He loves the stories and it's easy for him to operate as he suffers from dementia. When I ordered, I was told it would not arrive until after Christmas but it had plenty of time to ship to NM and allow me to wrap and then ship to AR in time for Christmas morning. Amazon was great at sending out notices that it had shipped sooner.

This product was given as a gift, but I have heard that they loved it. and anything Louis L'Amour is great.
