Our Take

Ah, Tex Ritter, the king of cowboy crooners. A man whose voice is as smooth as the leather on his trusty steed. The Tex Ritter Collection: Hits & Selected Singles 1933-61 is a wild ride through the dusty trails of country music history.

From the jaunty jangle of "Rye Whiskey" to the mournful melody of "I'm Wasting My Tears on You", Ritter's distinctive twang is a delight to the ears. His storytelling prowess shines on tracks like "Deck of Cards", painting vivid pictures of life on the frontier with just his voice and a guitar.

But don't be fooled by Ritter's easygoing charm - there's a dark undercurrent running through many of these songs. "Blood on the Saddle" is a chilling tale of betrayal and violence, while "The Wayward Wind" captures the yearning for freedom that every cowboy feels in his heart.

The production on this collection is top-notch, with each track sounding as crisp and clear as a mountain stream. And the accompanying booklet is a treasure trove of information about Ritter's life and career, perfect for fans old and new.

So saddle up, partner, and ride on down to the nearest record store to pick up the Tex Ritter Collection. It's a classic slice of Americana that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. Yee-haw!
