by
Marty Robbins
Released in 1972, the double-album/single-CD All-Time Greatest Hits remains one of the best compilations ever assembled on Marty Robbins. Featuring 20 tracks -- including most of his big hits -- there are very few essential tracks missing from the collection. As an introduction, this relatively concise compilation is a bit more manageable than the ...

A Lifetime of Song (1951-1982)
(1983)

by
Marty Robbins
It's a mystery why Columbia has so many Robbins compilations in print, since they all cover roughly the same territory. Lifetime of Song (1951-1982) isn't as comprehensive as the Essential Marty Robbins: 1951-1982 box, nor as concise as The Story of My Life; what it is, rather, is a kind of a follow-up to 1972's All-Time Greatest Hits collection, ...

Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 1-3
(1997)

by
Various Artists
Originally released in 1952 as a quasi-legal set of three double LPs and reissued several times since (with varying cover art), Anthology of American Folk Music could well be the most influential document of the '50s folk revival. Many of the recordings that appeared on it had languished in obscurity for 20 years, and it proved a revelation to a ...

Gene Autry
Gene Autry recorded an awful lot of Christmas songs, and at least three of them have become beloved and enduring holiday standards. Autry never shied away from novelty pieces, and with his charming, unaffected vocal style and a strong sense of what might be termed "cowboy pop swing," he had both the image and the marketing savvy (he was the first ...

This double-CD Gene Autry compilation, though impressive on a sonic level, and reasonably full, isn't quite perfect. Oh, it covers all of the basics and even gives some play to aspects of Autry such as his blues singing, represented by "Dallas County Jail Blues" and "T.B. Blues," that usually isn't familiar to listeners whose knowledge is limited ...

The first of three albums of cowboy material by Michael Martin Murphey, and one of the better modern collections. Murphey approaches his material with both reverence and humor, which makes this disc less serious than many more grimly authentic efforts.

Chris LeDoux
With his second album Rodeo Songs "Old & New," Chris LeDoux found his style. Namely, he found his voice as a contemporary cowboy, telling tales of horses and the rodeo with charming, down-home melodies. Balancing traditional songs with new material, LeDoux has created a fine work that fulfills the promise of his debut. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide

Chris LeDoux was born in Mississippi, but his music and lyrics both have plenty of Texas heart -- maybe brought on by the fact that by the time he hit his teens he was already living in Texas, and soon began the normal cowboy path of taking part in rodeos and spending his summers doing ranch work.

On the big scale you can call this album Western music, but on individual cuts it throws you some curveballs.

With the Irish-flavored "Sidekick Jig," and the beautiful "A Border Romance," and "One More Ride" being ...
