"The King Of The Cowboys" as he was known during his 50's heyday as America's biggest children's TV star had actually begun his career as a country singer in 1933 when he became a founding member of The pioneer Trio which became The Sons Of The Pioneers the following year. These recordings feature that group as well as Roy's early solo performances. Most of these songs evoke the popular romantic images of the Old West in much the same way as his Hollywood movies.
