A collection of classic recordings from the early part of the century that depict the bigger than life image of the American Cowboy. In the 1920s when most of these selections were recorded many of these singers still had close personal ties to the heyday of the cowboy (1870s and 80s) and indeed many of the performers heard here were either cowboys themselves or were raised in the western environment of the cowboy. Other performers are from the rural South where epic western themed ballads were widespread since the later part of the 19th century. These two volumes communicate all the romantic imagery of the American cowboy with selections depicting heroic deeds, gritty trail life, and moving love songs. Notes, lyrics and photos are contained inside booklet.

Val Doonican remains one of the nations' favourite entertainers, with his warm, friendly and relaxed delivery, as seen during his Saturday night prime time TV show, The Val Doonican Show, which had a long and successful run on BBC Television for more than 20 years. He easily blended a cocktail of traditional Irish songs, with his arrangements on pop music and covering easy listening and novelty songs, Val scored a dozen Top 40 hit singles, including five Top 10 hits - 'Walk Tall', 'The Special Years', 'Elusive Butterfly', 'What Would I Be' and 'If The Whole World Stopped Loving' - over a ten year period. He also reached the Top 40 Albums Chart on twelve occasions over a 44-year period, including five successive Top 10 albums in the 1960s.
