Released: May 2005

The Sons of the Pioneers are the definitive vocal and instrumental group in Western music history. They specialized in cowboy songs, setting the standard for every group that has come since. The greatest achievement of The Sons of the Pioneers lay with the sheer quality of their work. Their superb harmonies and brilliant arrangements have delighted three generations of listeners and inspired numerous performers.
This collection contains some of the earliest recorded performances by Roy Rogers when he was just embarking upon what would prove to be one of the most remarkable performing careers in American history, long before he was billed as King of the Cowboys and became one of the most recognizable public figures of the 20th century.
Roy continued to perform many of the songs contained in this collection throughout his long career, including Cowboy’s Night Herd Song.
