The Spell of the Yukon, The Cremation of Sam McGee, Dangerous Dan McGrew, The Face on the Barroom Floor, The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill, The Ballad of One Eyed Mike, The Ballad of Hard Luck Henry, My Friends. If you like Hank Snow AND Robert Service, you are bound to LOVE this album. It features Chubby Wise and Chet Atkins doing the background music for Hank's recitations.

War, War, War Vanguard 79315 Country Joe McDonald, 1971. Forward, The Call, Young Fellow My Lad, The Man from Aphabaska, The Munition Maker, The Twins, Jean Desprez, War Widow, The March of the Dead. About this time, Joe could do no wrong for Vanguard, and they allowed him the freedom to do several projects that were a long way from his normal material. In addition to this one, he also recorded an album of country (yes, REAL country) music, and one of Woody Guthrie music. As I recall, I never saw this album in a record store~~I had to special order it. He composed the music for the poems.

The Spell Of The Yukon Columbia 8388 Stuart Hamblin, no date. Includes The Shooting of Dan McGrew, The Lure of the Little Voices, The Spell of the Yukon, and The Cremation of Sam McGee, along with six of his own compositions.

Talkin' To Your Heart RCA 2339 Jim Reeves, 1961. An album of recitations which includes only Spell of the Yukon.

I also have a Debbie McClatchy album which has one or two Service poems, but I did not run across it.

When I was teaching seventh grade literature, we always did a unit on Robert Service poetry. Almost without fail, sometime during their eighth grade year, the kids would ask to hear Jean Desprez and The Cremation of Sam McGee again.
