This
is first ever CD release of David Rose's recording of his music
from the classic TV SERIES BONANZA!
Take your boots off, put the feedbags on the horses, sit back,
and enjoy a passel of mighty-fine episodes from television's most-beloved
Western series: BONANZA!
Here is the vast Ponderosa Ranch and the entire Cartwright family:
Ben, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe (otherwise known as Lorne Greene,
Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker, and Michael Landon). Using the Western
TV show format, BONANZA wove morality tales around the Cartwrights,
touching on such social issues as injustice and race prejudice,
just one of the reasons this classic series still holds up strong
today.
Among the guest stars included among the classic episodes in this
compilation: Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek ; Lee Van Cleef, gunslinger
in spaghetti Westerns; Ricardo Montalban of Fantasy Island ; Sebastian
Cabot of Family Affair ; Vic Morrow of Combat ; Franchot Tone
of Mutiny on the Bounty , Julie Adams of Creature from the Black
Lagoon ; British "Scream Queen' Hazel Court, future game
show host Bob Barker, and Everett Sloane of Citizen Kane ; as
well as Hollywood reliables Dan Duryea, Patricia Medina, Lyle
Talbot, Claude Akins and Philip Ahn.
David Rose's music for this enormously popular television series
helped make Lorne Greene,Michael Landon and Dan Blocker household
names along with it's classic theme penned by the team of Jay
Livingston and Ray Evans
The album comes with a beautifully illustrated booklet which includes
David's original notes explaining how he wrote these themes. Definitely
one of our all-time favourites!.
