Editorial Reviews

Here are the virile, invigorating Hollywood Western tales of screen icon Lorne Greene. Recorded in the mid-1960s, at the height of his Bonanza fame, you'll hear a brew of tradition, lounge-pop affectation and spaghetti western mania. Witness the tense fuzz-tone of Pop Goes The Hammer, the chilling conclusion of The Search or the haunting, philosophical I'm A Gun. Bold arrangements by Joe Reisman and Anita Kerr. Remastered from the original RCA Victor master tapes with rare photos, a candid interview with Lorne himself and original liner notes this deluxe collector's edition presents his finest LP with a generous clutch of extra tracks including the number one smash hit Ringo"" Original LP + 16 extra tracks, 28 tracks total.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album worth buying in any form but an alternative exists, January 27, 2010

This is definitely one of Lorne Greene's best albums (originally released in 1965 on RCA) and this CD does contain that album and additional bonus tracks. However, a huge majority of the bonus tracks come from his 1966 "Portrait of The West" album, in fact 8 of the 12 tracks from that album are on this CD in the original playing order (these 2 albums are on the 3rd disc of the Bonanza: Ponderosa Party Time boxed set on Bear Family in their entirety in the original playing order), and the rest of the bonus tracks are An Ol' Tin Cup (And A Battered Ol' Coffee Pot), Endless Prairie, Sand, and the #1 hit "Ringo" all from 1964's "Welcome To The Ponderosa") plus Five Card Stud, Cool Water, The Devil's Grin, and Gold, all from 1965's "Lorne Greene's American West." ("Welcome To The Ponderosa" and "Lorne Greene's American West" are combined on the 2nd disc of the boxed set in their entirety). If you can't afford the boxed set, this CD is a must have, otherwise, I would rather have you buy the boxed set than this CD.

I was looking for an album with the song "Ringo" because it brought back good memories and found this album with lots of songs I remember from a long time ago. Love the album and glad I found it.

Great music and the unque style of Lorne Greene. I could listen to this CD all day long. The Song Ringo is the real prise.
