Editorial Reviews

16 tracks by famed Disney film narrator/singer also known as `Mr. Cowboy' from 1972 . Astride Koko, 'Miracle Horse of the Movies', Arizona's Rex Allen blazed a trail through B-Westerns while recording for Mercury and Decca in the 1940s and '50s. In 1972, Allen went to Nashville to record nine Western songs (and/or recitations) and a half dozen more contemporary country offerings (including Merle Haggard's Today I Started Loving You Again) for Jack Clement's JMI label. Highlights of these recordings include a woolly Western toast, Braggin' Drunk From Wilcox, and a wonderful Fiddle Medley from Johnny Gimble, one of the ace session players accompanying Allen's baritone.
