Summary: The best Autry collection out there 2006-03-10
Comment: 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!

Summary: The Singing Cowboy - Gene Autry 2006-02-20
Comment: I recently purchased the Essential Gene Autry 40 Historic Tracks from Amazon.com, via the internet, and have been totally thrilled, with many of the tunes featured on the two Cd collection, that I have never heard before.
These Cd's is a must for ALL Gene Autry fans world-wide, as not only does it give a full account of his Entire Columbia Records Career but it features some of those unique historic tracks taken from the old 78rpm recordings made in his younger years.
You can reminise with Gene as he portrays "The Life Of Jimmie Rodgers", "Dallas County Jail", "Dear Old Western Skies", the very popular "Amapola", to the sentimental all time favourite of many, "That Silver-Haired Daddy Of Mine, to "When It's Sprintime In The Rockies" just to mention a few gems from the 20 tunes on Cd One.
Then theres even more Nostalgia with Gene on Cd two, with the likes of Oklahoma Hills, the bouncy "Sioux City Sue", "Roly Poly, plus not to forget "God Bless America" sung in true Cowboy fashion as only Gene Autry can master, and if you're still looking for more golden tunes, then listen to "On Top Of Old Smokey" another that I played oh so often from a 78rpm, then you must check out the song made popular in later years by Dinah Shore, "Buttons And Bows" this is another treat from Gene, presented in true Cowboy singing style.
To close off the second Cd of 20 memorable tunes, are two famous all-time Christmas greats, "Here Comes Santa Claus" and Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer", just to add even more lust and sentimental value to the Two Cd Album of Essentially Gene Autry.
Finally, I take my hat off to "Columbia Records" for this long awaited treasured release in respect of "The Singing Cowboy - Gene Autry, as I can say, Gene himself would be over the moon and possible, (singing on the moon), if he were to be able to listen to his famous collection of tunes today.
I most certainly recommend this collection for ALL fans of Gene Autry to have in your home library.
