Jules Allen ~ The Singing Cowboy: Complete Recordings, 1928-1929 (2008)

I very rarely purchase the CD's of BACM releases due to the fact that the quality is often hit and miss (unfortunately that's the case with some of the tracks on this one but it actually sounds better than most of their CD's) but this is one of only two albums put out of Jules Allen so I decided to just go ahead and buy it. Him and Carl T. Sprague were probably the first popular cowboy singers, only Jules Allen was the real deal and actually was a cowboy. He even authored a book on cowboy lore and lingo and songs that was published in the thirties. I'd encourage anybody who likes traditional cowboy or western music to track down a copy of it. Please note one or two of the tracks are old minstrel songs that contain racially insensitive language.
