It's no surprise that history defines Pee Wee King and the Golden West Cowboys by their hits: the immortal
Tennessee Waltz written in 1947 by King and singer-fiddler Redd Stewart,
Slow Poke and
Bonaparte's Retreat. But that's not the whole story. As one of America's great country show bands, their scope encompassed ballads, polkas, pop, country and novelties - along with driving uptempo blues, rocking country and boogies. That flexibility pleased country fans and audiences who wouldn't go within 25 miles of a country stage show. It gave them TV stardom in Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Chicago in the 1950s and a short-lived 1955 ABC network program. This great set offers 30 blazing samples of Pee Wee and the Cowboys at their hottest, including 1947's furious
Ten Gallon Boogie, their takes on the 1950 Johnnie Lee Wills hit
Rag Mop,
Birmingham Bounce and the
Dragnet TV theme and many more plus an essay by Rich Kienzle.
