Ghost Riders in the Sky / Sons of the Pioneers
Saw some guy claim he could list the
Greatest Western Stars of all time.
I figured that was a pretty presumptuous claim
since the list of Great Western Movie Stars is very long
and goes back quite a ways.
Right back into the 1920’s and 3o’s.
And since I wasn’t around in those years and
my own Western Movie education is lacking thereof,
I’m not sure how such a claim could be made?
Many of the Great Western Stars of of the early era should
most certainly appear on any such list.
Western Stars like
TOM MIX
BUCK JONES
To name just 3 …
Incredibly, some of these guys – like Buck Jones –
are almost forgotten.
Shouldn’t happen.
Soooo …
I certainly wouldn’t attempt to name the
Greatest Western Stars of All Time.
BUT …
I can definitely name 10 favorites …
So I will.
Coming up …
I find a lot of Buck Jones on streaming channels like Tubi.
He had such a tragic death.
Don, just reading about that horrific event is unimaginable.
Sounds great. I really enjoy lists, they invariably throw out a few surprises and one focusing on western stars is full of possibilities.
I hope to do some justice to these guys.
