About Gene Autry - Always Your Pal, Gene Autry

Considering his good-guy image and his deliciously amiable vocal style, it's really not surprising that Gene Autry would appeal to the younger cowboys and cowgirls of America. What is amazing about this 16-song collection is how well Autry's "real" cowboy songs--"Back in the Saddle Again," "Old Chisholm Trail," "The Big Corral"--fit alongside perennial children's favorites such as "On Top of Old Smokey," "Clemetine," and "Johnny Appleseed." The varied arrangements, which range from classic cowboy to pop vocal harmonies to jazzy big bands to pared-down steel-guitar country, are surprisingly consistent; Autry's near-perfect voice does the rest. Only a rare talent such as Autry could make music that rewards kids and grown-ups in equal measure. And when he says, "Hello, boys and girls," you'll find yourself saying, "Yes, Mr. Autry?"--no matter what your age. --Marc Greilsamer Amazon.com

rating: 5 QuoteTHIS CD IS AWESOME!!!Quote
We originally bought this CD for our 2.5 year old toddler & found we loved it so much, we were fighting over who gets to listen to it in their car that day!!! All our friends who listen to this CD question us about it & want one for themselves - forget the kids! This CD is AWESOME listening for the whole family! Gene Autry's voice singing these old & funny songs is just wonderful! Gives you butterflies in your tummy! April 23, 2003

My 7 year-old niece fell in love with this CD last year, and now my 2&1/2 year-old daughter can't get enough of it, also! The songs are fun and the arrangements are easy for kids to follow and sing along with. I also like that my daughter is learning some classic American tunes like "Clementine", "On Top of Old Smoky" and her favourite, "Smoky the Bear". This CD is also great to play at cowboy-theme parties. May 30, 2002

rating: 5 QuoteGene Autry is a hit with our two year-old!Quote
We bought this cd for our toddler son. He is absolutley fascinated with it! He will sit and attentively listen to the entire cd. His favorite song is "Rusty the Rocking Horse," followed closely by "Johnny Appleseed". The melodies are catchy, the lyrics are entertaining, and Gene Autry's voice is pleasant and almost calming. We believe that both boys and girls will love listening to this album again and again, and parents will enjoy being taken back in time to a simpler way of life. January 13, 2000
