A masterful concept album, and an oddity, built around a movie. MGM had the blockbuster How The West Was Won out on screen, and their record division asked Wooley to record an album to tie-in with the film. The result is a superb collection of folk and western-style songs that tie in with various sequences in the movie, including excellent spoken word tracks ("Wagonmaster's Diary"), fine sentimental ballads ("Papa's Old Fiddle"), and even a brilliant cover of the Alfred Newman-Ken Darby title track from the movie. Two years after the release of this album, Darby added the song "Big Land," and MGM re-released it with the new track (but without the Newman-Darby movie song) as It's A Big Land (MGM 4325).
