Title: For "Gunsmoke" fans everywhere
Review: Once again adapting his persona of Marshal Bob Dylan from the long-running western TV show "Gunsmoke," James Arness offers sincere, if not always competent versions of beloved cowboy songs. Not known as a singer in the first place, it must have taken nerve for Arness to also co-write a few of the selections here (credited to his fictional alter ego, Marshal Bob Dylan). These songs fail to compare with the other ones proving that Arness' talents lie in the area of interpretation, not composition. Good as this collection is, one still wonders what Dan Blocker could have done with these tunes.
