Various - Western My Rifle, My Pony And Me (CD)

1-CD with 24-page booklet, 26 tracks. Playing time approx. 68 mns.

Subtitled 'Movie And TV Soundtracks', this 26-song collection is the ultimate overview of songs that were memorable elements of the post-War Westerns. Opening with the voice of John Wayne introducing
Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson, who sing this collection's title track from the 1959 film, "Rio Bravo", the selections span 1948 (Roy Rogers singing Don't Fence Me In) to 1965 (James Stewart's The Legend Of Shenandoah). Along with such 'hits' of the genre as Johnny Horton's North To Alaska, Frankie Laine's Rawhide, and Johnny Cash's The Rebel Johnny Yuma, there are such unexpected singing cowboys as
Kirk Douglas crooning And The Moon Grew Brighter from the 1954 film, "Man Without A Star". The 24-page booklet, brimming with period art promoting the films and their songs, is the perfect visual complement to the music. Popcorn not included.

Western CD-Album-Series with Country and Western CDs

These collections give you an overview of songs that were memorable elements of post-War westerns in cinemas and on TV. Along with established ‘veterans’ of the genre like Johnny Horton, Roy Rogers and Johnny Cash there are unexpected singing (with more or less success…) cowboys like James Stewart, Kirk Douglas or the ‘Bonanza’ cast.

The booklets, brimming with period art from posters and lobby cards, are the perfect visual companion to the music. Popcorn not included.

JOHN WAYNE’S WEST - IN MUSIC AND POSTER ART 

A man and an actor as big as JOHN WAYNE deserves a tribute like this! John Wayne was America. And America – in fact, the entire world – has not forgotten John Wayne. Thirty years after his death, the man known as 'Duke' still ranks among the Top Three most popular American film stars of all time.

More than any other actor, he chose roles that glorified traditional American values and would not compromise his personal image. "Don't apologize," he said in 'She Wore A Yellow Ribbon,' "it's a sign of weakness." That was John Wayne, and that's the John Wayne celebrated here in the music and poster art from his many memorable western movies.

Apart from 10 CDs of movie songs and original soundtracks and a DVD with movie trailers this set includes a fabulous 464-page full-colour hardcover book with a biography by Richard W. Bann plus movie posters, lobby cards, stills and other memorabilia from every western movie John Wayne appeared in (incl. many rare posters from around the world). Plus a complete filmography and a selection of famous quotes from The Duke
