Rex Allen Jr. Releases New Album

NASHVILLE, TN —  As Rex Allen Jr. blazes trails on his farewell Sunrise to Sunset Tour, the Golden Voice of country/western music is releasing his last all western album.  Garage Songs X, “This Is The Last Cowboy Song,” is available now through CD Baby, Amazon and iTunes outlets.

Rex reminisces, ” I have recorded over 40 albums during my wonderful career and Western Music has been a part of each and every one of them. Western Music is my heritage. It is my roots.”  And it is that wonderful Allen history that plays out through the album.

The first single, “Call of the Canyon” is set for a worldwide release March 15th.  The old west echoes in the written words of two time Western Music Association Hall of Fame member, 85-year-old Dick Goodman whose band, The Reignsmen, also backed Rex Allen Sr.

The legacy continues with three generations of the Allen family in harmony and yodels on the true western sound of “To Le Roll Um (Arizona Cowboy),” which Rex Allen Sr. wrote and used as his theme song for his Republic films.

Rex Allen Jr. interprets eleven tunes by such other notable songwriters as Marvin Rainwater, Johnny Western, Johnny Cash, Michael Martin Murphey, Dan Seals, Eddy Raven, Juni Fisher and Ed Bruce.

“I believe this album represents ‘my’ kind of Western Music. My Western Music is different and I like to think unique……like me,” states Allen.

Rex Allen Jr. has a busy March planned promoting the new project.  Appearances are scheduled on popular western music outlets, Spirit of the West and Swingin’ Country, Red Steagall’s Somewhere West of Wall Street and Cowboy Corner, along with performances and nominations at the Academy of Western Artists Award Show.
