Merrick Jarrett's Riverside LP, RLP-12-631, THE OLD CHISHOLM TRAIL AND OTHER TRADITIONAL SONGS OF THE OLD WEST, vcl/gtr, rec. by Kenneth Goldstein in Toronto, May 1956. The song list was as follows: The Old Chisholm Trail When the Work's All Done This Fall A Cowboy's Dream The Railroad Corral The Glory Trail (High-Chin Bob) The Poor Lonesome Cowboy The Cowboys' Dance Song Cowboy Jack The Gal I Left Behind Me Roy Bean Little Joe the Wrangler The Lone Star Trail The Strawberry Roan The Arizona Boys and Girls Utah Carroll The Cowboy (“All day on the prairie…”) At one living room session, a few of us were passing songs around and I sang a Gene Autry song, I'm A Cowpoke Pokin' Along. Merrick said, "Now Jim, you don't really think that's a true cowboy song do you?"
