Tex Ritter - High Noon (CD)

Of all Hollywood's 'singing cowboys', Tex Ritter, with his tack-plain but sincere bass, sounded most like the genuine article. This 28-track overview of his Capitol recordings spans 1942 to 1957 and a variety of production approaches from the folk spareness of Rye Whiskey in 1946 to the Baroque Western ripeness of Gunsmoke in 1955. On many of his Capitol sides, Tex was supported by such ace Capitol country accompanists as steel guitarist Speedy West and guitar legend Merle Travis.The set opens with High Noon recorded and released in England, and ends with Capitol's 'country' version. Other tracks include I Got Spurs To Jingle Jangle Jingle, Goodbye My Little Cherokee, The Chisholm Trail, Cattle Call, Remember The Alamo, The Night Herding Song and Blood On The Saddle. A true Bear Family classic!
