The preeminent vocal group on the "western" side of country & western, the cowboy balladeers Sons of the Pioneers began in the 1930s, but one of their most popular albums was this 1959 release. It was recorded to exploit the then-new "Living Stereo" recording technology RCA had developed, and it features re-recorded versions of some of the band's best-known material, with added pop-orchestral accompaniment and crisp, hi-fi engineering. Not for country purists, but surely a classic pop record.
Tracklist
Sons Of The Pioneers
Many people know that Roy Rogers began his career as a member of the Sons of the Pioneers. Fewer remember that the group went on to a long successful career after Rogers left in 1937. The group's Western themes, to which they added sweet harmonies, had a profound influence on country artists of the next generation. Hank Williams, Sr., for one, included many of their numbers in his live show.
