All
American Old Time Radio Show Classic
Tales of the Texas Rangers
For a small taste of this great
series,
listen to the preview below.
This show comes on CD In MP3 Format
A western adventure, the old-time radio
drama, Tales of the Texas Rangers, starred Joel McCrea was Texas
Ranger, Jayce Pearson. He used the latest scientific techniques to
identify the criminals and his faithful horse, Charcoal, to track
them down. The shows were reenactments of actual Texas Ranger cases.
The series was produced and directed by Stacy Keach, Sr., and was
sponsored for part of its run by Wheaties.
Captain Manuel T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas, a
Ranger for 30 years and who was said to have killed 31 men during
his career, served as consultant for the series.
The radio series used contemporary cases and
modern detective methods to solve crimes. It was a procedural drama,
in many ways Dragnet with a Western flavor.
The radio series was adapted for television
from 1955 to 1957. During the opening and closing credits of the TV
show, the actors would march toward the camera and sing the theme
song, "We are the Texas Rangers", to the tune of "The Eyes of Texas
Are Upon You", which is also the tune of "I've Been Working on the
Railroad".
The TV series did both modern cases and
cases set in the Old West. With new cases using a car with horse
float to get the rangers to their destinations it always made sure
that the use of horses was only a step away. With older themes they
would always ride into town on the horses to mete out their justice,
they wore differing ranger attire for new and old scenes, also their
weaponry was totally different.
The TV show was aimed at kids (and aired on
Saturday mornings) and was more of a traditional Western (with
chases and shoot-outs).
So take a trip back
to the Old West and enjoy over 45 hours and over 90 episodes of
Texas Ranger adventures.
The following are the episodes contained on the CD.
