Description:

Voice of the West collects songs Rex Allen recorded in the early `70s with producer Jack Clement, who cut away the cinematic strings that dominated Allen`s previous recordings. Instead, he leaves the singing cowboy with simple, straight-forward production that accentuates the western roots of his music. Not only does he play tradtional cowboy classics, he does a handful of contemporary country numbers. It might not have his classic hits, but Voice of the West gives a good sense of the scope of Allen`s talents. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
