pure americana

my children love this. sophie sings it when it's not even on. checked it out from our library and it is wonderful! definitely worth a listen. i think it was the music in raising arizona? coen brothers film starring nick gage and holly hunter. pure americana as well.
with their glorious three-part harmonies and sophisticated musical arrangements, the Sons of the Pioneers more or less defined the genre known as western music. this group's rich sound never wavered, and their mournful, melancholic evocation of the Old West on such classics as "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," "Blue Prairie," "Cool Water," and "Riders in the Sky"

Recorded between August 8, 1934 and April 19, 1954
Sons Of The Prarie includes: Pat Brady (vocals, bass); Roy Rogers, Bob Nolan, Tim Spencer (vocals); Karl Farr (guitar, fiddle)
