Sing, Cowboy, Sing!: The Gene Autry Collection
Released: 10/24/1997
Label: Rhino Records
GRAMMY® nominated for Best Historical Album in 1998, the three-CD box set Sing, Cowboy Sing!: The Gene Autry Collection is a must for any music library. Featuring 84 songs, remastered from original Columbia recordings and the Melody Ranch Radio Show, all of his classics are included, such as That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine, Sioux City Sue, Here Comes Santa Claus, South of the Border, and Back in the Saddle Again.
Beyond the great music, you’ll find liner notes that are worth the price of the set alone. The booklet includes a Gene Autry biography written by historian (and Riders in the Sky member) Douglas B. Green, detailed Track-By-Track Notes by historian Jon Guyot Smith, Celebrity Tributes, Gene Autry’s Cowboy Code, film and television information, plus lots of great photos, posters, and press material. It’s a collection that will have you humming, singing, and smiling all day long!
