Featuring the Songs of Bob Nolan

 

            Many of Bob Nolan's songs were written for specific films and he often admitted that he was not proud of those compositions. However, many of the songs we hear in his films he had originally written as poems several years before that. When time was short and demand for new songs was high, he would take one of these poems and quickly create music for it. Bob always thought of himself as a lyricist but many of the melodies he wrote were beautiful and memorable.

            The Sons of the Pioneers and others have recorded many of Bob's songs and we have included a few selections of each for your listening pleasure. We have also included background to the creation of the song, when we know it, plus the sheet music.
