Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD for those of us old enough to remember when Roy and Dale were popular TV stars, or for anyone else interested in the Singing Cowboy subgenre. The CD is chock-full of old-time western songs in a pleasing program that mixes fast and slow pieces and includes tracks by Roy alone, Dale alone, and the two together. I was tempted to title my review "Sweet", not because the music is schmaltzy (it isn't), but because the love these two have for each other and for the music they are performing shines through. If I had to find a negative, I would say that Dale can tend toward an overly romantic style on the slow pieces. But her voice is so beautiful and pure, who can complain? Also, the accompaniment (by none other than Mitch "follow the bouncing ball" Miller!) is not what I would have preferred, but to his credit his slick sound is never obtrusive and is far less a perversion of cowboy music than the later, semi-pop recordings by Roy, Gene Autry, and even the Sons of the Pioneers in the late 50s. Another observation is that Roy and Dale, correctly I think, did not include "Happy Trails to You", their theme song that has become a bit hackneyed and, in any event, is not of the same generation as the other pieces. All in all, very enjoyable for any fan of western music or of beautiful singing lovingly performed.
