Description
Known as Canada's Trail Riding Cowboy Troubadour, Stu Davis was a household name in Canada across four decades - famous for his smooth singing voice, his songwriting and colourful western stage suits. Until now, he was poorly served in the age of the CD with only one release, none of the tracks being repeated here.
Here are 27 tracks all digitally remastered, including many taken from rare original 78rpm releases, plus all the tracks from his famous "Red River Jamboree" album plus those tracks from his "Rope Around The Sun" album that have not been reissued elsewhere. Includes his classic songs "Land, Sky And Water" and "What A Fool I Was". Although he was reluctant to work outside of Canada he became much loved on shows including WLS Chicago's "National Barn dance", plus the "Grand Ole Opry", "Sunset Valley Barndance" and "Town Hall".
He hosted his own shows including "The Stu Davis Show", "Rope Around The Sun", "Red River Jamboree" and "Trail Riding Troubadour".
He was Canada's favourite TV cowboy singer and TV presenter through the 1950s and 1960s.
