[Notes]
This warm and affable kids' set features contemporary renditions of cowboy songs like "I'm an Old Cowhand" (done by Riders in the Sky), "Whoopee Ti Yi Yo" (done by Ian Tyson), and "Happy Trails" (done by Cowboy Envy), making for a charming and professionally recorded facsimile of the life and the music of cowboys in the Old West. - AllMusic Review by Steve Leggett
