According to a 1948 Life magazine article, "if [Gene's records] were all shipped to one place, [they] would make up a freight train solid with Western songs and be more than a mile long."
Rocky Mountain Express
from Rovin' Tumbleweeds (1939)
Gene Autry introduces the Pals of the Golden West and Smiley Burnette for the musical number "Rocky Mountain Express" from his 1939 Republic Pictures film Rovin' Tumbleweeds. That's some fine yodeling for a train song!
