The top western stars of the silver screen are featured in the "All-Star Western Theatre", a highly entertaining series of shows first heard in 1946. Hosted by Cottonseed Clark and highlighted by the music of Foy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage, the 20 broadcasts in this collection offer a virtual round-up of singing cowboys, including Tex Ritter, Eddie Dean, Jimmy Wakely, and Ken Curtis, as well as Saturday Matinee favorites like Tim Holt, Wild Bill Elliott, Alan "Rocky" Lane, and Johnny Mack Brown. If you ever sat in a darkened theater and thrilled to an exciting chase on horseback, rooting for the hero and booing the bad guys, you're going to love the sparkling and fully restored sound of the "All-Star Western Theatre" from Radio Archives.
