"Doc" Denning Sings of Trails West
All voices and instruments by "Doc" Denning via multi-track recording.
"The early pioneers left wagon tracks that are still visible in parts of this country, even after 150 years, 'Trails West'. The settlers, mountain men and cowboys inspired many composers to write of the lives, loves, legends and the land that make up our Great American West. I even penned a few myself. Many of these songs were sung by groups such as The Sons of the Pioneers, The Reinsmen and by the 'silver screen cowboys' like Roy Rogers, Rex Allen Sr, Eddie Dean, Ken 'Festus' Curtis, Tex Williams and others. I've had the honor of appearing with these men on film, TV, recordings and stage. They came to be friends as well as mentors. Those Saturday afternoon matinee heroes are gone now, but I've tried here to keep their 'western' music alive in the style they introduced. This April of 2001 I've reached my 80th year and I feel blessed that I'm still able to play and sing their music. I hope you enjoy the results. My best to you, 'Doc' Denning."
