If you've got a yen to add something different to the collection, here's an off the beaten trail delight that fills the bill. This 25-track collection features movie and TV theme songs that should be familiar to any baby boomer who remembers these pictures and TV shows when they were first out and about. From Dean Martin's "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" from Rio Bravo to Johnny Cash's "Bonanza" to Gene Autry's "Back in the Saddle Again" to Percy Faith's "The Virginian," this collection throws a wide net and yields a bunch of tracks that'll bring a smile to your face while you say, "hey, I remember that!" Well thought out, with the usual top-notch Bear Family quality in the sound and notes department; an offbeat delight. ~ Cub Koda
