CD ReviewsBing sings western music his way Bradley Olson | Bemidji, MN United States | 01/25/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "The good folks at ASV in the UK have done it again, they have compiled 25 Bing Crosby recordings from 1933-1944 and are all western styled songs in generally excellent sound from 78's. Highlights on this comp include a cover of Al Dexter's hit "Pistol Packin' Mama" and "Don't Fence Me In" (both featuring the Andrews Sisters), his versions of traditional western music standards such as I'm an Old Cowhand, Tumbling Tumbleweeds, Twilight on The Trail, Take Me Back To My Boots and Saddle, Clementine, Deep In The Heart of Texas, San Fernando Valley, The Last Roundup to lesser known but just as great songs such as Old Oaken Bucket, After Sundown, Roundup Lullaby, Singing Hills and many others. If you are into western music, balladry and/or Bing Crosby, this is a must have and is a much better buy than "My Favorite Country Songs" which BTW does have Cool Water (with the Andrews Sisters) that isn't on this comp but it cam be found on the Complete Recordings of Bing Crosby And The Andrews Sisters 2 CD set anyway." He's an old cowhand... Benjamin R. Garrison | Lynnwood, WA United States | 10/04/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "...and boy, can he SING! I am a big Bing Crosby fan and this has become one of the most valued CDs of my Bing collection. Crosby's relaxed baritone glow evokes feelings of the true old west. It's country and western music without the country twanginess. It's WESTERN music. Bing owned a ranch and sang with authentic feelings of being out in fenceless lands with moonlight on the range. One can almost smell the sagebrush. Some songs are fun, others are downright touching. So saddle up and rope in this CD!" Rio Grande Favorite V. F. Golubic | Allen, TX United States | 07/13/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is one of my old favorites. Love to listen to this CD to relax. Brings back good memories of New Mexico and southwest ...before NM was discovered...way back when...just listen...you can hear how simple things were back then"
