Before the holiday, we ran into Smith Ballew as a singing cowboy, so let's visit the King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers!
From Roy's first starring feature for Republic Pictures, "Under Western Stars," comes Johnny Marvin's Oscar-nominated song "Dust" from 1938!
As the sheet music helpfully points out, the song was recorded by Horace Heidt and his Brigadiers. Here they are with vocalist Larry Cotton on Brunswick Records:
Snazzy label there!
I'm not a huge Heidt fan on the whole, but this one catches the right vibe!
