Gene Autry`s story, as documented on THE ESSENTIAL GENE AUTRY, is nothing short of amazing. He invented the "singing cowboy" image and revolutionized not just C&W, but popular culture in general.
"The Yellow Road of Texas," "Tumblin` Tumbleweeds," "You Are My Sunshine" and "Back in the Saddle Again," as heard here, are as rich and enjoyable now and they were when they were first recorded. In fact, the superior quality of this CD makes these songs more than listenable. Autry`s warm campfire voice and his straightforward, good-natured honesty is quickly identifiable on THE ESSENTIAL GENE AUTRY. A perfect survey of the original singing cowboy, this album represents a vital piece of Americana.
