Sons Of The Pioneers "Country Fare"

Stars: Roy Rogers; Release Date: June 24, 2003

Sons Of The Pioneers: Leonard Slye (a.k.a. Roy Rogers), Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer.Personnel: Charlie Seemann, Bob Pinson (programming).Liner Note Author: Charlie Seemann.Photographers: The Country Music Foundation; Matthew Barnes.Like some downhome version of the Mills Brothers, the Sons of the Pioneers mixed Western swing, cowboy ballads, and sophisticated vocal harmonies to produce some of the biggest country-crossover hits of the 1930s. A band apart, the Sons were too jazzy to fit in with the cowboys and too Western to be accepted by fans of their true peers like the above-mentioned Millses or even the Boswell Sisters. Nonetheless, they did just fine for themselves, creating such timeless tunes as the stirring and wistful "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and the atmospheric, almost ghostly narrative "Cool Water, " accounts of the cowboy lifestyle that went far beyond anything in the catalogs of Roy Rogers or Gene Autry.

"Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "Cool Water" are only a couple of the hundreds of songs created by the Sons of the Pioneers, the most famous singing group in the history of Western music. Charter members Roy Rogers (Len Slye), Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer, and brothers Hugh and Karl Farr (two gifted instrumentalists from Texas) developed a unique style of vocal control and harmony that became the group's trademark. During the 1930s and 1940s, the prolific Nolan, along with other members of the Pioneers, composed hundreds of new songs, primarily for film appearances. Although Roy Rogers left the group for movie stardom, the Pioneers appeared with the King of the Cowboys in forty-two films. There were one hundred movie appearances in all, including Rio Grande and The Searchers with John Wayne. Alumni of the Pioneers include Pat Brady, Lloyd Perryman, and Ken Curtis ("Festus" of TV's Gunsmoke), and today the Sons of the Pioneers carry on the long traditions of their group in!

The clash of East and West, of tolerance and bigotry, of man and woman play out in this vivid early Talkie. Richard Barthelmess portrays Sam Lee, a Chinese-American who, stung by racial slurs, leaves his wealthy father's New York home to make his own way in Europe. There he falls for a beauty (Constance Bennett) who proves beauty is only skin deep when she discovers Sam's heritage and vents her fury in a shocking, not-to-be-missed scene of pure racial hatred. A bold look at intolerance that helped secure Warner Bros. studio's reputation for social-conscience filmmaking, Son of the Gods was also a reprise of sorts for Barthelmess: He played a Chinese opposite Lillian Gish in D.W. Griffith's famed Broken Blossoms.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
