10 Timeless Western Songs

Label: Varèse Sarabande
Foy Willing and The Riders of the Purple Sage were one of the most popular and important groups of the singing cowboy genre.
The Riders Of The Purple Sage appeared in 14 of Roy Rogers’ Republic films. They also recorded and toured with Roy and his wife Dale Evans, and were regulars on his radio show.
This collection features a sampling of the music and harmonies that made The Riders Of The Purple Sage so popular, including Blue Shadows On The Trail, Ragtime Cowboy Joe, Home On The Range (which is probably the most popular Western song ever written), as well as Bob Nolan’s classic Tumbling Tumbleweeds.
