100 songs from the days of the singing cowboys, including many rare songs of the open spaces by artists from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
The 4CD set includes sought after recordings by great names like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Tex Ritter and Jimmy Wakely, the rare theme song of Red River Dave, "Is The Range Still The Same Back Home", and the super-rare Panachord recording of "I'm Hittin' The Trail" by Wilf 'Montana Slim' Carter.
There are also rare early tracks never before on CD by artists such as The Hillbillies, Frank Ifield, Ezra Paulette & His Beverley Hillbillies, Jesse Rogers and many more. Also for the first time since the original 78, the unedited version of Tex Morton's "The Story Of Parson Joe".
Extensive 32 page book of liner notes and discography by writer/broadcaster Paul Hazell combined with the usual excellent Jasmine sound (Mastering by Tall Order) make this a must for any true country collector.
