TCM began their tribute to the "Singing Cowboy". Probably the most famous being Gene Autry and TCM didn't disappoint with the showing of "Back in the Saddle".


Who are some of your favorite western singing heroes. And most importantly what images reminded you of those days, such as: white hats, campfires, etc.



I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again

Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
Rockin' to and fro
Back in the saddle again
Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
I go my way
Back in the saddle again

I used to watch Roy Rogers on TV as a kid and I know he and wife Dale Evans sang.

I also know they were quite str8 and it probably pissed them off that their theme song lyrics "Happy Trails to You - Until We Meet Again" was being used as a parting good wish by us dope smoking, acid dropping Hippies.

I wasn't a fan of the genre.
