I recommend it for anyone who grew up in the 40's and 50's

I grew up liking Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. I found Western Stars I had not heard of or had not heard of in years in this delightful and useful book. The Cd takes us from Back in the Saddle to Happy Trails, framing the lesser knowns with Gene and Roy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have
Like riding a Golden Palamino back to Yesterdays Saturdays.

Author Phillips certainly knows his subject. His material is well researched. No studio hype here. The photos are so crisp and clear, they seem to jump off the page and sit in your lap. For those who grew up during the 30's, 40's and 50's this book is like stepping back to those days. For everyone else, you can see and hear, what you missed. America still needs these kind of heroes. The biographical information on the 25 western stars is brief and accurate. Excellent reference book.
