Description:

Gene Autry was the greatest western singer who ever stepped in front of a microphone, and if anyone doubts it, they can get their minds changed by this budget-priced ten-song collection. This 27-minute CD may not offer a lot in length, and any real Autry greatest-hits collection could easily run 20 songs and still be skimpy. But the ten songs that are here are the ones for which audiences most loved Autry -- "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine," "You Are My Sunshine," "Back in the Saddle Again," "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," "Blueberry Hill" (he had the hit with it more than ten years before Fats Domino), "South of the Border," and Stan Jones` "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky," the latter in its most soulful and moving interpretation ever. The sound is excellent, and the particular versions (Autry recorded a couple of these numbers more than once) are definitive. There are no notes or recording dates, but the music is so beguiling that this is a must-own bargain volume. ~ Bruce Eder
