Bin? whistles and sings- it with an ease and all the authority of a real cowhand riding' the range, and ?╟÷ why shouldn't he? ?╟÷ for this is a natural for "The _, Groaner." He's TOMEOANSON been riding the range on his Elko, Nev., ranch for lo these many years, and has been a good teacher to four of his own "tenderfoot" pupils, his sons, who have turned out to be pretty good cowboys themselves. The lyrics are refreshingly new and sincere. They tell simply and honestly, the story of a "Tenderfoot." and the various stages in his routines that eventually make him a cowboy. It's really gratifying to ' once again hear a song that doesn't rely on broken hearts or unre-i quited love for a gimmick. In fact,, the only "gimmick" in this tune which is destined to become another of the Crosby classics, is its. basic theme, which is as refreshing as the outdoors itself. After listening to the promotion record sent to me, several times, and then hearing Bing do the song on his show last Thursday, this tenderfoot couldn't wait to get into Western regalia and head for the open range. Crosby is darned careful in his selection of numbers for records; as he doesn't cut too many a year these days, so, upon the basis of his selection alone, I predict .this J will make the Hit Parade in the 'not too distant future.
