Tex Ritter was one of the first “singing cowboys”, a singer and actor who started out singing on radio in Texas in the 1920s, soon moving to New York to appear on radio and on Broadway. He made his first records in 1933, going on to have a recording career that lasted four decades, and after his screen debut in 1936 in western movies, made more than 70 films through to the mid-1970s.

He is best known on record for his pop hits with “High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)”, the theme song of the landmark 1952 movie “High Noon”, “I’m Wastin’ My Tears On You” and “I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven” in 1962.

This superb 16 track LP selects recordings from his first big hit in 1944 for the newly established Capitol Records through selected singles from the 1940s and ‘50s, the heyday of his career, to the early ‘60s.

Encompassing children’s songs, faith-based material, and some of his trademark recitations as well as the more familiar fare of cowboy songs, it’s a substantial and varied showcase for his talent and his highly distinctive style.
