Description:

Contains 29 tracks recorded from 1952 to 1962 in New York City and Hollywood.
On the Trail Again concentrates on Frankie Laine`s Western and faux-folk recordings for Columbia from 1952-62, including several remakes of songs he had recorded for Mercury and a number of Western film themes. The high drama and brash intensity of Laine`s Western efforts isn`t too far removed from the work of Tex Ritter or Johnny Western, but his powerhouse vocals could blast either of those two out of the studio. A few of the arrangements are a little too over the top for the material, particularly the frenetic xylophone and harpsichord on "El Diablo," but fans of ambitious and unorthodox Dimitri Tiomkin-style Western music will love every minute of this collection. ~ Greg Adams
