Frankie LAINE – Country Laine

Frankie Laine had a long and varied career in theatre, cabaret, radio, TV, film and as a singer. He is one of the truly legendary figures of show business. This collection of mainly Western songs benefit from his distinctive style, capturing the blazing drama of the Old West.

After a long day in the saddle we saunter into town and tracks like: 'Horses and Women'; 'Moonlight Gambler'; 'Ace in the Hole' and 'Deuces Wild' really help to set the scene. Also on offer here is Frankie's version of the academy award winning, 'High Noon' plus 'Mule Train' and 'The Cry of the Wild Goose' which sold more than a million copies each. Other such successes as, 'Gunfight at the O.K. Corral' and 'The 3:10 Yuma' are even more exhilarating.

Frankie Laine's popularity and capacity for reviving a nostalgic era coupled with the electric excitement he brings to the music really adds extra brilliance to these rousing songs. Yee Haw!
