"With the release of "The Bronze Buckaroo (Rides Again)", Herb Jeffries, the great Jazz singer of Duke Ellington Orchestra fame reprises his days of cinematic glory as America's first and only Black singing cowboy - The Bronze Buckaroo. This superb CD was recorded by Mr. Jeffries in his 84th year of "vintage" and, having heard some of the same songs included herein in their original versions (recorded in his "prime" in the 1930's), I can honestly report that the 1930's were NOT Herb Jeffries' prime - the 1990's are! This man has perhaps the greatest baritone voice (still complete with his legendary 4.5 octave range) of the 20th century. I could go on but no words of any mere mortal can do justice to this man's work. All I can say is this... if you like Western/Swing music, with this CD, Herb Jeffries defines the genre for all time. It is utterly beyond human imagination that anyone else can ever or will ever do it better than the great Herb Jeffries. Get "The Bronze Buckaroo (Rides Again)"... this fabulous CD is a "keeper"!"

Wow!
