Tumbling Tumbleweeds 2:28 Cowboy songs grew for a long time into one of the most important parts of the folk music in the United States. They came from the lonesome cowboys on the trail who won the Wild West, the outlaws and desperados, the big game guides, head packers and wranglers. Tracks #1-11 · THE WILD WILD WEST Arranged and conducted by Ralph Hunter Erik Darling, banjo; Tony Mottola, guitar; Eddy Manson, harmonica; Frank Carrol, bass. Recorded in Webster Hall, New York, November 7, 10 and 14, 1958 Recording Engineer: Bob Simpson Produced by Bob Bollard Originally issued on RCA Victor LSP-1968 The music of the West was born with a purpose, and channeled the true spirit of a nation. This collection of favorite Western songs, headed by their greatest hit 'Cool Water', will go down in the heart of America as a living tribute to the land of the West that is loved the world over for its music and heritage. Tracks #12-29 · COOL WATER Sons of the Pioneers sing all tracks Orchestra conducted by Darol Rice Arrangements by Stan Jones, Tim Spencer (tracks #13, 15 & 19) Recorded at RCA Victor’s Music Center of the World, Hollywood, California, in June 1959 Recording Engineer: John Norman Produced by Neely Plumb Originally issued on RCA Victor LSP-2118 Produced for CD release by Jordi Pujol ---------------------------------------------- Review: -Cool Water "The Sons of the Pioneers went through so many different lineups over the decades -- especially from the end of the 1950s onward -- that it was often difficult to know precisely who was singing on various LPs drawn from different parts of their history. Cool Water, however, was the group's first stereo release, cut in June of 1959 as one of RCA-Victor's Living Stereo series, which encompassed artists ranging from Henry Mancini to Sam Cooke. The original release, issued at the height of the stereophile boom of the late 1950s, was a vivid display of close, intimate presence and discreet channel separation -- what it lacked was the stripped-down authenticity of the original Sons of the Pioneers' sides from the 1930s. Purists may be put off by the accompaniment, which includes strings, as well as the definite sense of drama and sophistication that has gone into sides such as "Twilight on the Trail." On the other hand, some of the music here, such as Tim Spencer's arrangement of "Red River Valley," or the western pop standards "Wagon Wheels" and Stan Jones' "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky," can get away with the restrained presence of flutes and French horn, and even strings in the latter case; and "Way Out There" as done here, with an up-tempo beat (a little too up-tempo, actually) and electric guitar, and the group's singing mixed fairly far back but sounding superb, holds up as a new, fresh approach to the song. Other songs, however, lack the underlying authenticity of the group's original sound [...]" Bruce Eder -All Music Guide
