For really exhaustive coverage of the work of this groundbreaking cowboy harmony group, you`ll want to invest in the Bear Family series; for a quick, budget-priced overview, try this label`s Tumbling Tumbleweeds compilation. But for a more generously packed and lushly packaged overview collection (at full price), this is an excellent choice. It consists mainly, of course, of all the genre-defining hits you`ll expect: "Cool Water," "I`m an Old Cowhand," "Riders in the Sky," "So Long to the Red River Valley," and more. Pre-1937 recordings feature the singing of founding member Roy Rogers, who is heard to particularly fine effect on the gorgeous "Blue Bonnet Girl," and one track (the jazzy "I`m an Old Cowhand") even features a guest vocal by Bing Crosby. The sound is of limited quality, but that`s to be expected with vintage recordings. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson
