the singing cowboys.......2005-01-14

I bought this cd because Rex Allen Sr & Rex Allen Jr were both on it. I love all the songs on it and father and son sound terrific. I'm undecided if Can You Hear Those Pioneers, Ride Cowboy Ride (which is an old song of Marty Robbins), or Arizona is my favorite on it. The whole album is diffently a must on any country music fan's list.

A great introduction to good Western music.......2004-07-10

Rex Allen Jr was the one who, by virtue of the wide-open Country radio formats in the 1970s, introduced me to Western music. Prior to buying the original "Best of Rex" album, my exposure to Western music had been limited to black and white movies with grainy pictures and even grainier sound, and I never gave the songs much consideration. But upon hearing "Can You Hear Those Pioneers?" and Rex's lively "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds/Cool Water" medley, I was hooked. His rich, smooth voice and comfortable delivery made me a convert. Hearing the sparse yet hauntingly beautiful "Kin to the Wind" on his "Brand New" album (not available on CD as of this writing) aced it for me.

On this album Rex Jr offers us a mix of some of his older cuts along with a few he hadn't released on his own before. On the pre-released orginals, his Dad's voice is mixed in to great effect; Western movie and recording star Rex Allen Sr's lower, coarser baritone adds a warm texture to the recordings. Although it's obvious that Rex Sr was advancing in years when his vocals were dubbed, his voice makes up in character what it had lost in strength from the years and is a perfect complement to his son's.

Of all the cuts here, "Yippi Cry Yi" is my personal favorite. It was the lead-off song on side 2 of "Oklahoma Rose", arguably one of the finest Country albums ever produced. Amazingly enough, this Western song actually got airplay in the 1980s, but remember, radio was more open and accepting then. I also really enjoy "Arizona", which naturally became that state's official song. However, there's not a turkey in this bunch so you won't be disappointed by the ones I didn't highlight.

The transitions between Rex's own work and the more traditional cuts like "Tyin' Knots In The Devil's Tail" and "When The Work's All Done This Fall" (two that Rex Sr recorded many years ago) are seamless, a testament to Rex's keen sense of how to write and sing traditional western music as well as the overall production.

I would have liked to have seen a few more songs, especially the aforementioned "Kin to the Wind" (written by the great Marty Robbin's son, Ronny). Better yet, a duet by father and son on the soulful "Streets of Laredo" would have been icing on the cake. Twelve to fifteen songs would have raised this to 5 stars from 4 in my book.

This album makes a perfect introduction for anyone even remotely curious about what good Western music sounds like when it's not confined to the soundtrack of fading films. Adults will appreciate it for nostalgia's sake, and kids will like it for the novelty of the old cowboy tunes. "The Singing Cowboys" would make a great ambiance track for western clothing stores, western-themed restauarants, etc.

Hopefully this compilation will gain new converts to this classic, wonderful sound. Thank you to both Rex Sr and Jr for doing their parts to keep Western music alive and kicking!

Western Music at its best.......1999-12-25

Rex Allen Sr had the best voice of all the singing cowboys, maybe because it 'sounded' Western and he was a genuine cowboy from Arizona. Unfortunately, he appeared in movies and recorded Western songs when the genre was taking its last breaths. Rex Jr has a fine voice that seems to improve over the years. And when they sing Cowboy and Western music - there are few who can equal their unique sound. This compilation includes many classic Western tunes and each is sung with such depth and love for the music, they paint a picture in your mind of the countless scenes of the desert and Wild West of movies and TV. Senior and Junior should have much more airplay so this music won't be forgotten. And Rex Allen Sr fans can take heart in the fact that even with his unexpected passing, his music will live on thru the ages. This recording gives us all a hint of the greatness of both these fine singers and the wealth of outstanding music they've recorded over the years.

This is an awsome CD, great sound and great songs........1998-12-07

This CD is great and is perfect for that person who loves the original country music. The CD is one of the best I've ever listened to. It is just like you are sitting at one of his concerts ( I know I go every year). I would recomend this for people young or old.

Perhaps best known as a B western cinema hunk or as the narrator of Disney's nature programming, Rex Allen, the "Arizona Cowboy," first came into fame as a radio star. The cowboy crooner on Chicago's National Barn Dance, which for a time rivaled the popularity of Nashville's Opry, Allen helped put the Western in C&W. Fifty years hence, these lost and forgotten recordings of the "Voice of the West" are at long last available, lest we forget the last vestiges of this vital bit of Americana. From nimble-fingered accordion and fiddle-driven swing, smooth ballads, and story songs to energetic yodels and the trio harmonies of Allen's lively Arizona Wranglers, these tunes embody the nation's optimistic post-World War II vitality and its longstanding romance with the American West--rife with possibility and dreams beyond the known. These radio transcriptions from the Barn Dance of the late 1940s are as warmly vibrant today as they must've been when the band was cutting 20 sides a day, many of the tunes freshly learned and put to vinyl in a single take. --Paige La Grone

Album Description

On "Last of the Great Singing Cowboys," you get an early glimpse into Rex's versatile meldings of both kinds of music, country and western. There are fast-paced instrumental breakdowns, crooning, velvety ballads, smooth trio harmonies, and story songs. The crack backing band, full of accordion, fiddle, guitar, swinging standing up bass, and other sundry sounds, reflect what a hotbed of musical talent Chicago was immediately after World War II.

Customer Reviews:

Western music done superbly by Rex Allen.......2000-02-05

The recordings are simply outstanding. Rex' voice is the best. His style and honesty come through, big time. I just wish he had continued to record, but I understand the reasons why he, most likely, did not. Western/cowboy music has a very loyal, but comparatively small, fan populace. I'm happy to say I'm one of them. I also wish Rex was still with us.

Album Description

Happy Trails is a contemporary tribute to singing cowboys and Western matinee idols like Roy Rogers, Rex Allen, Gene Autry, Hopalong Cassidy and the Lone Ranger. For over seventy years, motion pictures have emblazoned (or perhaps better said, branded) upon the American popular consciousness the image of the champion of the lone prairie who tells his story of riding tall in the saddle and of the good woman waiting for him at the end of the trail. These are their songs.
