The Sons Of The Pioneers recently released their album, 85 Years of Harmony, with fifteen all-new recordings.
In the band's eighty-five year history, they have had dozens of members. Some had fame apart from the group, such as actors Ken Curtis and Roy Rogers. But every man who has ever been a member has played an important part in the growing of Western music.
Today's Pioneers are Tommy Nallie (lead guitar; vocals), Ken Lattimore (vocals; fiddle), Roy "Dusty" Rogers, Jr. (vocals), John Fullerton (vocals, guitar), Paul Elliott (fiddle), and Chuck Ervin (bass, vocals). And this group proves that they are more than just the "legendary Sons Of The Pioneers"—they stand on their own as top-class musicians.
I am thoroughly enjoying this album. Since the album is for their eighty-fifth anniversary, I would have liked to see some liner notes. And of course, there are always more songs you could wish were included, but overall I think they made excellent choices.
The album can be purchased here, and more information on the Sons Of The Pioneers, as well as their touring schedule, can be found at their website: https://sonsofthepioneers.org/
