Best Gene Autry Release, So Far...
Joseph Brando | NJ, USA | 01/16/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's kind of hard to believe that America's most famous singing cowboy does not have a more thorough release than this, while many other and far less famous singing cowboys have received complete discography box sets. But as it stands, this 2-CD compilation provides a lot of bang for the buck and a great introduction to the huge mass of records Autry recorded during his decades as America's most beloved cowboy. CD-1 contains a nice overview of Autry's major hits spanning from his earliest years as a yodelling Jimmie Rodgers clone to a more polished TV and movie star. The second CD contains less-popular but even more enjoyable tracks with some really super tunes including "Pretty Mary". There has been a problem with many other Autry releases culling his songs from movies, TV shows and live performances (which would actually be great if the original versions were all released as well) but not to worry here, these are all the original studio versions!!"
