COWBOY COUNTRYShadows On The Trail
Cowboys and the 'Wild West' have spawned one of the
most memorable, if largely mythic, images of the period, very much aided and
abetted by Hollywood and the invention of the 'Singing Cowboy'.The film industry
helped make stars out of Tex Ritter, Jimmy Wakely and Rex Allen, although all
their careers started on the radio.Named as such in 1934, The Sons Of The
Pioneers originally included Leonard Slye, better known as Roy Rogers. Appearing
in many films, the group survived the replacement of Rogers in 1937 when he
became a solo star and went on to great success on record. The Cass County Boys
were a trio who often backed Gene Autry in films and on stage; although they
endured into the 1950s, they did not find success on record.
