Title: The best Autry collection out there
Review: If you're only going to buy one Gene CD, it should be this, especially now that the compilation that pulls songs right off of his film soundtracks is no longer in print. My only reservation is that this collection doesn't include "The Last Round-Up" or "Bury Me on the Lone Prairie" -- also I would have replaced this original "Silver-Haired Daddy" with a more soulful one, but then again the one here was the one that won Gene the first Gold Record ever (not HIS first, but THE first), so it's hard not to include it. Quibbles aside, there's so much else on here that it's hard to complain -- including two very early and eerily good Jimmie Rodgers covers, with haunting guitar work, that make one wonder what Gene might have produced in his long life if Hollywood hadn't gotten hold of him. Hi ho, Champ!
