The most popular LP they recorded was in 1959, after all of the original Pioneer Trio had left.
The album called "Cool Water" has a loney cowpoke laying prone drinking from a waterhole, horse in background, hot sun burning down.
This was part of RCA's "Living Stereo" series and was the first SOTP album in stereo.
As far as I can tell, there were six members on the record, probably...
Hugh Farr (1934–1959) vocals, fiddle
Karl Farr (1935–1961) guitar
Lloyd Perryman (1936–1977) vocals, guitar
Pat Brady (1937–1968) bass
Tommy Doss (1949–1963) vocals
Dale Warren (1952–2008) vocals, bass
although...
Shug Fisher (1944–1959) bass
George Bamby (1959–1960) accordion
may have helped also.
This record has a fair amount of orchestrated backup and consists mainly of re-recordoings of their best-known material from a couple of decades earlier.
