How are we only on record five of this great seven record set? Because I continue to find gold in this box set filled with legendary songs about the old west.
Each record, or in this case each side of this collection had its own theme. Even with those guides, I might take a little poetic license when I name episodes like this.
One side of this record is about things South Of The Border. The flip side mentions a thing or two about Legends And Sagas. Some you may know. Some have some pretty odd twists if you ask me.
So, get ready to hear plenty of "ahh aaahs" and stories about heroes and villains in what is technically Tumbling Tumbleweeds Record 5, Volume 214: Badlands.
More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
