Our Take
Ah, Al Dexter, the man with the delightful name and the even more delightful tunes. The Al Dexter Collection 1936-49 is a journey through the swinging sounds of the past, with Dexter's signature blend of country, swing, and honky-tonk.
From the moment you press play, you're transported to a time when music was simple, yet oh so charming. Dexter's voice is as smooth as a glass of whiskey, dripping with twang and emotion.
Tracks like "Pistol Packin' Mama" and "So Long Pal" will have you tapping your feet and itching to hit the dance floor. Dexter's lyrics may be cheeky and playful, but his musicianship is anything but.
The collection showcases Dexter's versatility, with upbeat barn-burners sitting comfortably alongside heartfelt ballads. Each track is a gem, sparkling with the authentic sound of a bygone era.
If you're a fan of classic country music or just looking to add a touch of nostalgia to your playlist, The Al Dexter Collection 1936-49 is a must-listen. So dust off your cowboy boots, grab a partner, and get ready to two-step the night away with Al Dexter leading the way. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
