WHOLE FAMILY FAVORITE!, March 19, 2005
This review is from: Riders In The Sky Present: Davy Crockett, King Of The Wild Frontier (Audio CD)
My two sons love Davy Crockett, so when we saw the Riders in the Sky in concert and heard this CD would be coming out we could hardly wait. The CD didn't disappoint us a bit, except maybe that it left us wanting more. Includes wonderful versions of the Crockett songs you've heard before such as the all famous "Ballad," "King of the River," and "Farewell," and new songs written by the Riders like "Headin' for Texas" (beautiful!). I highly recommend this! Brings back fond memories of the days when Davy was huge, and introduces a great hero to our children today, someone willing to fight for what's right ("Be Sure You're Right, And Then Go Ahead").
We take the Riders with us on vacation everywhere we go. They are fun for the whole family to sing along, and if nothing else, our attempts at their yodel techniques are quite entertaining.

FUn nostalgia trip, December 18, 2004
This review is from: Riders In The Sky Present: Davy Crockett, King Of The Wild Frontier (Audio CD)
This is a fun nostalgia trip for boomers who grew up playing cowboys and indians and those of us who are younger who grew up with Disney LPs and song records- truly great fun. A note here- the Ballad of Davy Crockett was a top selling number one hit in the 50s for its singer- BIll Hayes known today for his role as Doug WIlliams on the soap Days of Our Lives. Bill has an accomplished career in music, stage and song as well as soaps.
