When i was growing up, i loved all of roy's movies, i could not get Enough of them. This movie, my pal trigger stuck to me like glue. except the name i forgot,I just could not remember it. So just before Roy left us he sold a lot of his horse's and i went there and met him for the first time. He was tired and came over where i was sitting down. We had a long talk, and i loved it. That was when i ask him about the movie,when he first got trigger,He said he liked all of his movies, but that was a special one of His. He said that one stands out for him too.

Having just received this package of movies, I have not yet watched any of them; but they are in my library for later viewing. Roy's movies and TV show are broadcast weekly on RFDTV, so I have seen all of them. I intend to let some neighborhood youngsters see them. Roy Rogers and Trigger were a very inspiring team. They taught obedience to God, our parents and the American Constitution. We learned to be respectful to our elders and leaders, to be welcoming to strangers, and to give a hand up to those in need. And nobody could ride a horse like Roy Rogers; on Trigger at a full run, they looked like a single entity.

Poor Buddy Holly. He was so talented and tall; and he was from Texas.  Tall and from Texas. Those are two good things to be. He died so young. What can I say about Buddy Holly that has not already been stated?  He wrote wonderful songs.  Beautiful songs.  This is a terrific collection of his work. It sounds great and the price is damn good.  I would not hesitate to buy this item again.  A great bargain.

It doesn't get any better than this! Roy Rogers and the super stars of today singing cowboy/country songs that almost everybody knows, and they do it VERY WELL. It is pure fun to listen to this album!

I thought the book was great. I grew up in Upper St. Clair in the 1950's and 1960's and this book brought back a lot of good memories. I was good friends with the Fife's and Lesnett's and my other friends Grandmother owned Paris Lake. Seeing the old Schools and houses brought back a lot of good memories when times were a lot better. My Father built our house on land Mr. RR King sold him. Mr. King was a really good person as were his son's and daughters.
I also remember Godwins green houses. I went to school with one of the Godwin girls.
My wife was surprised to see their old house on Comanche. He grandmother bought the house in the 20's when the streetcars started running out there.
I want to Thank Larry R. Godwin for putting this book together. My wife and I both got a lot of enjoyment from it and I am going to get my friend Bruce Fife a copy.
Sincerely yours

Love all songs by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers/Dale Evans.  I keep them in my car to listen to as I drive.  It is impossible to get this kind of music on the radio anymore.  These are songs I heard as  teen ager and many of the songs were written by them.

I'm the wrong guy to ask,since just about all the music I listen to is from the '50s and 1 of my favorites happens to be Roy Orbison.

I was deeply sadden to find out about the death of Roger T.  He was one of the greatest Artist alive.  When you heard Roger and his group you couldn't help but move to the groove.  His music made you feel good and happy.  You could always find something to laugh about when you played his music.  Because he displayed a lot of humor in his videos as well as what he would say & do in concerts and his songs.  I really enjoyed the loves songs because they touch me deeply in the way I feel about my husband today.  Although, I'm a Christian I know if I hear those loves songs I would still enjoy them.  God bless his family,

Roy Orbison could rock as good as any popular singer from the rockabilly days until the end of his life. But it was the romantic and dramatic ballads that were the killers. His work with the Monument label is always pointed out as his greatest work. It was... but his work with MGM is excellent in a different way. His voice was emphasized more and that's what I really like about the sound. I loved the texture, the power and suppleness of his vocals. An excellent job was done with this entire MGM package. Remixed and remastered.

He didn't really follow any trend of the day especially when he wrote or co-wrote the songs. This album THE ORBISON WAY showcases that perfectly. Most of these songs were written by Roy and Bill Dees. I don't know what happened to Bill Dees but in my opinion he was Roy's greatest asset as a co-writer and sideman. It seemed that after a few albums with MGM he was kicked to the curb.

 This was Orbison's second album wth MGM and one of my favorites. Some songs are with his combo, THE CANDYMEN and others with full orchestration. Songs of love, longing and heartbreak are still meaningful because to be human is to experience these emotions. No way around it. There's also an unusual song about the desire for transcendence and meaning in life and battlefield death, THIS IS MY LAND. Ethereal and beautiful.

Roy Orbison was born in the 30's and grew up in the forties and fifties in a small town in Texas. You can hear it in his voice and if you close your eyes and listen close you'll see the blazing Texas sunset.... and then the lonely stars above us all....

I started loving country music again and this guy caught my eye. I like the idea about how some "cowboys" in music do not wear cowboy hats. Artists like Steve Azar and this guy Keith Urban. It's nice to see that there are some artists who stay true to their craft. I also like the idea of a country singer, without the hat. I know the hat is a symbol of country music; but I think you can still be a "good ole boy" without the hat. Keith Urban is one of them.
 I finally got to listen to Golden Road and I must say this is good, if not great, country music.
He stays true to what country music really is with songs like Somebody Like You, Whenever I Run and You Look Good In My Shirt. I especially like Jeans On. Jeans On seems like the typical cowboy song just hanging around the house. You"ll Think of Me is saying good-bye but remembering me. What About Me gives a sense of independence: Reba would be proud. You're Not Alone Tonight is a touching heartfelt journey into loneliness.
Overall this is one great cd to own-especially if you love country music. He knows what country music is and he is AUSTRALIAN.
This guy has a bright future in country and I hope to keep hearing from him for years to come.
GREAT CD!!!

Listening to and seeing Roy and Dale is a joy. The entire movie is put together seamlessly. I'm sure most of us who were around in his lifetime weren't aware of all the personal details, happy or sad, or realize what a wonderful person Roy was, and Dale as well. The film clips and the music are amazing, but practically sitting around relaxed with Roy for a couple hours is priceless.

Dick is a friend of ours and we always enjoy his music. He played for our 50th Wedding Anniversity.

I was on Kwaj and later RoiNamur and Ted Burris was a very good friend and my almost daily cribbage partner.  We talked stories and a lot of them are recounted in this well-written book. Wherever you are, old friend, this old medic, in the Brendan House in Kalispell, Montana, fondly wishes you well. W.D.
