5 out of 5 stars Timeless Classic.......2007-05-14

"Living Stereo" was the name of RCA'S highest quality recordings. The three major labels, RCA, Columbia and Capitol all invested large amounts of money and effort to improve, indeed, perfect the new LP stereo recordings of the 1950's. This album presents a good example of RCA's labor and technology. Although some of these songs are generations old and recorded on rather primitive equipment, they still sound great. Thanks to digital technology, these precious gems sound better today than they did when they were first recorded almost 50 years ago. I bought the LP, then the cassette version so I could listen to it in my car as I traveled the Pacific Northwest selling records and tapes to retailers. You will enjoy listening to the harmony of this cowboy classic.

5 out of 5 stars The last round-up.......2007-04-19

As a small child in the early 1960's, I was given an EP of four songs that were originally on the COOL WATER album (these were: "Cool Water," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," "The Last Round-up" and "Ghost Riders In The Sky"). At the time, I didn't know who the Sons Of The Pioneers were and had never heard any of their music. Long story short-- I LOVED that record. So, many years later, when the opportunity presented itself, I gladly bought the LP.

This early stereo recording (1959) is a marvel. Traditional cowboy songs with a full (yet not intrusive) orchestra. Gorgeous harmonies, classic tunes and excellent sound. COOL WATER is a truly great album that all fans of traditional American music should own. Highest recommendation.

5 out of 5 stars cool water music cd.......2007-01-09

the songs where sung by some of the oldest western singers in the 20th century, such as autry murphy and roy rogers.
the group was called the sons of the pioneers and if you consider that the wild west still was in the early `900's and tombstone still had stages and sherrifs you can see why.
if you truly like REAL country or western music, then sons of the pioneers is for you

5 out of 5 stars Stands Alone In Time & Genres.......2007-01-09

First the history of this album for me, then my impressions of the CD.

As a kid, we'd leave my hometown of Tulsa and make the drive to my Great-Grandparents' home, in the little town of Holdenville, Oklahoma. While the adults hung up coats and fixed lunch and talked and talked and TALKED, I'd race to the back room.

The back room had tinkertoys, a handful of trinkets gathered from local eating establishments, but for me it mainly had a record player and a stack of records.

It didn't take me long to figure out that very little of my Great-Grandparents' music was going to appeal to me; however, among the stack, I found this album. I loved it immediately and played it every time we went to their house.

Years later I inherited that album, but by that time a bad needle had ruiend the recording and none of the digital "tricks" I had could resurrect it.

Fast-forward to today, and the CD arrives!

As you might imagine, I had high expectations for this CD. Not only does it meet my expectations, it completely exceeds it.

First, the songs are of course exactly as I remember. However, it's like a veil has been lifted between me and the performace... this isn't sound in a groove coming from a cone, they're performing in the room! I'd forgotten how irresistable it is to harmonize with them.

The dynamics are at least as wide as on the album, actually wider because there's no "overload" point where it turns to fuzz. Voices truly soar.

The recordings, while focused on the nartually-eq'd voices, are deep, rich, full, clear, crisp and fresh. This is a very well-balanced recording!

O.K, finally, this is a recording from analog tape form 1959... how's the hiss?

ABSENT.

No joke. I like to think I've got pretty sensitive ears, and I'm not hearing ANY tape noise even at loud volumes. Absolute worst noise is the slightest 60 cycle hum at the beginning or end of one or two tracks when one mic is open by itself. Frankly, I'm not convinced I'm hearing that! I don't know if the RCA producers were magicians with analog tape, or if the company that mastered this CD figured out how to take out the hiss without disturbing the rest of the music... but it is whisper-quiet. the CD label says "Advanced Noiseshaping Redither," and maybe that's the magic... whatever it is, WOW!

In very brief moments, to only the slightest degree, is there a hint of analog overload, but it NEVER distracts from the music and is only a surprise because you almost forget this isn't a full-digital recording!

If you have the SLIGHTEST interest in the Sons of The Pioneers, cowboy music, or simply want an excellent example of what the medium was / is capable of, please do yourself a favor and get this CD!

P.S. - An added bonus for me: ironically, my Great-Grandparent's copy was MONO. Obviously, these recordings were meant to be heard in stereo. If you listen to the files on this page, you'll hear some of the problems of listening in mono: phase issues, etc. Buy this, and listen through headphones for best effect.

P.P.S. - Dig that bass singer!!! :-)

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Western Songs By A Great Group.......2006-08-09

This CD has some great songs sung by The Sons of the Pioneers. Ridin Home, Way Out There and Riders in the Sky are outstanding. This is the group that carried on after Bob Nolan retired. The singer who sounds like Bob Nolan is Tommy Doss who does a great job on Riders in the Sky and others. I bought this album in 1959 when it was originally available, and am happy it is now on CD.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful - no other word for it.......2007-05-30

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A must for both casual and die-hard Western fans. Great even if your sense of nostalgia doesn't reach that far back (like me; I'm 22). I love the combination of slow ballads and fast, jumpy songs.

5 out of 5 stars More Momories of Westerns.......2007-03-09

Boy, do these bring back memories of some of the Great Westerns of the 50's. We sit and listen to the songs and think of the movies and the TV shows that they are from. We can remember who starred in the movies and how the "Sons of the Pioneers" entered the stage to sing.
This is a GREAT CD.

5 out of 5 stars Old West Nostalgia.......2006-10-29

For anyone old enough to remember all the great Old West TV shows and movies from the same era, this CD is bound to bring you lots of fond memories and relaxing pleasure. What's best, the artists are all the originals; there are no remakes. Plenty of tunes are on this CD. It's well worth the price and the time.

1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing.......2006-10-24

The quality of the samples is better than the quality of the recordings.

5 out of 5 stars I Look Toward Home.......2006-10-05

This album takes me back to Texas. "The Sons Of Katie Elder" sung by Johnny Cash and "Nevada Smith" sung by Merle Kilgore sound good but are a bit modern. "The Searchers" sung by the Sons Of The Pioneers really hits home. As the sun sets and the days grow short I ride away and I look toward home.

      5 out of 5 stars Our boys are back!.......2005-12-15

      I was very excited to find these albums available! It is well worth the price (I got mine from the marketplace for about $75.00). I was really anticipating the wonder of these recordings, and I was not dissapointed. All four men have beautiful voices all of their own that make up a warm, joyous listen. They are the Cartwrights that everyone remembers, and yet they have still managed to surprise us with a whole new wave of talent!
      These fun albums will take you back to not only a time of timeless television, but of a time when actors were people of integrity and were famous not just because they fit/looked the part of a celebrity, but because they posessed real talent. The kind of talent that has withstood the test of time longer than any celebrity of today could get even close to.
      Whether you're a Bonanza fan or a fan of one of the indevidual actors, you will love these albums!

      5 out of 5 stars It's like being there at the Ponderosa...........2005-11-11

      I LOVE CD1 and CD4! CD1 is like being at the Ponderosa, listening to the 'boys' and 'Pa' banter back and forth!

      There are TWO party mixes, first: Ben's Surprise Birthday party given by the 'Boys'. Second: The Christmas Party Special, which I was disappointed to hear only ONE song from Adam (Pernell Roberts), "The New Born King"...which he did beautifully!!
      The music is good and I was surprised to hear that most of them could sing well. Hoss (Dan Blocker) always seems to be the comic relief person!

      CD2 and CD3 are all Lorne Greene. It's nice to hear "Pa's" voice, but I'm sure I won't be listening to those two CD's all that often.

      CD4 is my favorite!! Pernell's baritone voice is just wonderful!! I listen to this CD ALL the time! (Is it possible to wear out a compact disc from playing it too much?) His silky, deep masculine voice is just so soothing to listen to! (actually...I'm listening to it right now...)

      The expensive price was definately worth it!
      I highly reccommend it to anyone who is a Bonanza fan!

      4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable .......2005-09-03

      Just wanted to say that I listen to the Party CD and Pernell Roberts CD all the time. The music is fun and really does make you feel like your at the Ponderosa. It was worth the price for just those 2 cd's and the book that comes with it-great pictures and stories about the actors. Kind of hard to listen to that much of Lorne greene though as I really don't think he had that great of a voice. I wish Pernell Roberts recorded more songs as his deep voice is very enjoyable to listen to.

      5 out of 5 stars Bonanza revisited.......2005-08-24

      After waiting quite awhile before purchasing this item, I was richly rewarded. It is wonderfully put together with interesting information on the original tv series and wonderful cast photos. Pernell Roberts and Lorne Greene have wonderful deep voices and Dan Blocker contributions are heartwarming. Michael Landon's infectious giggle can be heard with clarity. The Christmas CD is a joy. Perhaps the most rewarding for me was the cheerful Cartwright chit chat which brings these wonderful characters back to the Ponderosa. Anyone remembering the series with fondness will love it.

      5 out of 5 stars A Bonanza Fan Must!.......2004-08-17

      If you are a fan of Bonanza, don't pass this up. CD4 which is Pernell Roberts (Adam) singing is absolutely amazing. His voice is so smooth. I find myself listening to that CD more than the others. It makes the whole package worthwhile. Lorne Greene sings Ringo in English and a separate track of Ringo in French. He also does a lot of old west songs as does Dan Blocker on his CD. Michael Landon does a nice version of Shenendoah and Crazy Love.

      You will love this collection and the book that comes with it is very informative amd has some nice pictures.

      I am a Bonanza fan so I love these CD's. Pernell Roberts is awesome. What a voice! Lorne Greene has a great voice also. Even Dan Blocker sings. Michael Landon has a nice voice too, not as powerful as Roberts or Greene's. If you like folk songs or western songs you will like this collection of CD's. There are four CD's. There is a book that has gorgeous photos of the Bonanza stars. It's a nice keepsake!

      4 out of 5 stars COOL WATER .......2006-08-27

      I was, and still am, a great Western Fan -- They don't make 'em that way nowadays.

      COOL WATER is excellent with a collection of 8 of the most popular cowboy songs. This is an excellent CD. However, if you want more songs on one CD there is another Sons of the Pioneers CD that has 18 songs, including these 8.

      5 out of 5 stars CLASSIC cowboy music from a special era!.......2005-11-20

      Nostaligic about the days when cowboy movies were the rage, and romance and thrills awaited you and your honey when you viewed a Western movie together? This music will bring those days alive again, and your heart will warm to the great old tunes in this treasure! Cool Water, Ghost Riders In the Sky, and Tumbling Tumbleweed are favorites that never tarnish with time! A treasure in nostalgia gems!

      1 out of 5 stars Wrong product.......2004-12-16

      This album is incorrectly discribed. It only contains 8 songs. It is only the import version that contains 18 songs. This is wonderfull music performed by a very talented group of musician. I would only suggest buying the imported version.
