5.0 out of 5 stars Roy Rogers - an American Hero, July 12, 2001

By	Michael J. Doyle (Portland, ME United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the one original song that Roy Rogers sings on this album, he sings "I feel like I've grown up with everyone who's alive and kickin' today." Surely, for anyone who grew up in the 30s, 40s, or 50s, this album is a stupendous find, a return to a beloved voice and some great old familiar songs. But this album should be on the list of essential country and western albums also. It is fair to say that without Roy Rogers, there would never have been any country music. Let us not forget that country music used to be called Country and WESTERN, and Roy Rogers (not to discount a few others, like Gene Autry) is the reason why.

I played this album for my kids when it first came out about 10 years ago, and they were absolutely delighted at the arrangements, and especially Roy's yodeling. Of all the good time, nostalgic sounds in the world, that has to rank right up there at the top.

This is just a great, great album, with one highlight after another. Realizing that Roy was about 80 when he recorded this makes the freshness of it even more amazing. And now that Roy and Dale have both gone on the Last Roundup, the poignancy of "Happy Trails to You", which, of course, concludes the album, is heartbreaking.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the stars in the heavens aren't enough!, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

Didja love Roy Rogers as a kid? And love Country Music now? Then you'll get a thrill (and feel a little jealous) when you hear some of today's best Country performers (Randy Travis, Willie Nelson, Clint Black, Emmie Lou Harris among others) sing along with Roy & Dale. Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Roy Rogers Tribute, October 17, 2000

By	Arlene Faith (Hendersonville, TN) - See all my reviews

This is a spectacular collection of songs performed by the late legend, Roy Rogers, and friends. I had the rare privilege of having co-written one of the songs for this wonderful project which honors his memory. "Final Frontier", which is not a streaming audio file, is (and always will be) my pleasure and pride to have been included on this fabulous record. Happy Trails, Roy. Arlene Faith Kortright
