Sons Of The Pioneers - Blue Prairie (1959)

This song was one of my favorites on the "Cool Water" album by the Sons of the Pioneers. The album remains one of my favorites. I wore this album out when I was a boy as it conjured images of the old west. I later acquired an autographed copy by Tim Spencer who was one of the original members. It influenced me greatly in my efforts to compose music that paints a picture in the listener's mind. This album has a permanent spot on my MP3 player and I imagine that I will listen to it regularly for the rest of my life. It's that good! RR
