5.0 out of 5 stars The Sons of the Pioneers as they were, September 18, 2002

By A Customer

You can get a general feel about a group by listening to their records, but you really have to hear them live in order to discover their individual personalities, their sense of humor, and how they work together. Before the release of these transcriptions, that was impossible to do with the classic Sons of the Pioneers. These four tracks--actually, four uncut, individual 15-minute radio programs--give the listener the opportunity to hear the interplay and humor one would have heard at a live Pioneers show. Bob and the boys talk between tracks, introduce songs, and have what sounds like a genuinely good time. And, the songs are great, to boot!

The only downside to this package is in knowing that the Pioneers did about 260 of these 15-minute programs, and the likelihood we'll ever get the rest of them are next to zero. Still, having the first four is great, and maybe Soundies will do another volume or two in the future. Here's hoping.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice snapshot of a great western band., February 13, 2003

By	Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This disc represents four complete radio shows from 1946-47, each show running fifteen minutes in length, with five songs apiece. It's a great snapshot of the band's professional presentation and ongoing showmanship in the postwar era... And with the fiddle & guitar of brother Hugh and Karl Farr dancing behind all the songs, it's also a treat for string jazz fans!
