Ralph Hunter / Sons Of The Pioneers
THE WILD WILD WEST + COOL WATER (2 LPS ON 1 CD) DIGIPACK EDITION
Blue Moon
- Cat No: BMCD841
- updated:2021-09-17
A laid-back mood music collection of easy-listening, cowboy-flavored country-western American roots that almost gets at the roots of the Beach Boys. The soundtrack to the American TV Western drama "0088 / Wild West," which also aired in Japan in the 1950s. Recorded in 1958. Track 12, the era's hit "Cool Water" (sample1), is a must-hear. Back in stock after a long absence. Perfect company for the long autumn nights.

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.

A coupling CD gathering two classic LPs onto a single disc, featuring the great guitarist Tony Mottola, plus slide guitar, banjo by 12-string virtuoso Erik Darling, and performances by the country & western group the Sons of the Pioneers. Naturally, every track is 24-bit digitally remastered on this 2016 reissue. It's wonderful how it delivers a pleasing sound from a modern easy-listening perspective on CD. Imaginary, dreamy and relaxing easy-listening mood music at its finest, the fruit of recordings born from great musicianship, ensemble originality and creativity. Exotic reverie.
