In the early 1960’s it was quite common to take an up-and-coming television star (yep, that’s what Clint was at this time) into the recording studio and make a pop single or two to test their teen appeal.

In 1962, Clint Eastwood took this one step further when he recorded a full-length feature LP entitled: “Rawhide’s Clint Eastwood Sings Cowboy Favorites.” Eastwood does a credible job proving he can croon with the best of them.

This album represents a collection of songs closely identified with the spirit of America and the 1960s’ era of western movies.

Clint Eastwood? That Clint Eastwood? Well, sure… Clint has demonstrated a deep love and aptitude for music as both an actor and a director (e.g. Play Misty for Me; Bird) during his entire career, and here you catch him right at the beginning of it, fresh from his success on the TV series Rawhide, crooning (and quite competently so) a collection of country & western favorites! The vinyl release (the album’s first-ever reissue in the vinyl format) features 180-gram vinyl pressing. A little-known side of one of Hollywood’s biggest icons!
