Editorial Reviews

Product Description
All Music Guide calls this album "perhaps the most significant western album of the ’60s," and you’d be hard-pressed to argue when you hear Eddy’s ethereal yodel on the title tune, or his takes on the Sons of the Pioneers’ Cool Water and Tumbling Tumbleweeds...close your eyes and you can almost see a campfire dotting the nighttime plain. Cattle Call was also the first Eddy Arnold album to hit the pop charts; it’s without a doubt a landmark in his legendary career, and we’re reissuing it here with the original gorgeous cover art and new liner notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of Eddy Arnold's Very Very Best, October 1, 2007

By	Michael G. Batcho (McAdoo, PA (USA)) - See all my reviews

"CATTLE CALL" . . . i remember so clearly the day back in 1963 when i received this LP in the mail from RCA's Record Club . . . i always loved "cowboy songs of the west" (probably every kid growing up in the 50's in America watched every cowboy on television and heard the songs of the west) . . . so when i plopped the vinyl LP onto the stereo turntable and heard that golden voice of Eddy Arnold deliver these ballads it was like visiting "familiar territory".

Eddy recorded and re-recorded the title song "CATTLE CALL" many times, but the rendition of it he put down on THIS album is perfect and crystal-clear . . .when he hits that Eddy Arnold yodel "hoo-hoo-hoo-hoohooo" you just have to try to sing along with him (even if you can't reach the notes that Eddy did) . . . this song and this recording has held up remarkably as a classic and never ever loses its magic or appeal no matter how often you play it or hear it.

The tracks are all great: "The Streets Of Loredo" . . . "Cool Water" . . . "The Wayward Wind" . . . "Carry Me back To The Lone Prarie" (Oh Bury Me Not On The Lone Prarie) . . . "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" . . .

But two of my favorites are: "Where The Mountains Meet The Sky" which talks about a cowboy heading off into that sunset of eternity.

And; "Jim, I Wore A Tie Today"(the first one that i ever wore) . . . a song about burying an old friend and travelling companion.

I guess the old west had countless "sad stories" to tell, and nothing told them better than a song . . . and few ever sag the songs better than did EDDY ARNOLD . . . and this album is among Eddy's very very best!

I was thrilled to first get it and hear it on LP back in 1963 when i was just fifteen . . . and it is such a blessing to be able to listen to it now in pristince crystal clear CD format and quality. "Old Cowboys never die . . . they don't fade away . . . they live on compact disc!" :)

Thanks EDDY ARNOLD for sharing so much of your talent with us through your performances and recordings over the decades, and thanks for THIS album, "CATTLE CALL"! It is one i will alway enjoy and appreciate and cherish.

I bought this cd for my 88-year-old mom. She loves the selection of classic cowboy songs. The sound quality and clarity are great.
