"Western Hymns & Spirituals ... Sons of the Pioneers ... Varese (2008)" August 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Varese Sarabande presents "WESTERN HYMNS & SPIRITUALS" -- The Sons of the Pioneers was an American cowboy singing group founded in 1933 by Leonard Slye (better known by his later screen name Roy Rogers), with Tim Spencer and Bob Nolan --- They were soon joined by others including Karl Farr, Hugh Farr, Lloyd Perryman, and Pat Brady --- The group remained popular into the 1960s --- Though all of the above members have passed away, the group continues on today (2008), led by Dale Warren (a member since 1953 replacing Ken Curtis), and performs regularly at concerts in Branson, Missouri and other spots --- It is believed that the Sons of the Pioneers is the oldest continually performing private musical group in history.[citation needed] Ken Curtis was best known as an actor (primarily as "Festus" on Gunsmoke), but was a member of the Sons from 1949 until 1953.
My earliest recollection of this legendary western group was on the big screen with Roy Rogers and his famous palomino Trigger (the smartest horse in the movies) --- Would sit in the fifth or sixth row of a darkened theater, watch and listen to The Sons Of The Pioneers, back then this was the best entertainment around --- Now that I look back on those films, they seem a little corny, but not the songs and those Pioneers - Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer, Hugh Farr, Karl Farr and Leonard Slye (Roy Rogers), still sound as good today as then.
The Sons of the Pioneers did several songs for the John Ford movies Wagon Master (in 1949, Rio Grande in (1950), and performed the theme song for "The Searchers" in (1953).
The six members who made the Sons of the Pioneers famous in the late 1930s with their close-harmonied western style music were elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 --- In 1995, they were inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
