Ken Maynard the first singing cowboy in the movies left the results of one recording session, of his 8 songs with Columbia Records on 78 rpm. His sound on film was shot in Lone Pine. Only two songs songs were ever issued in 1930. And these two cowboy songs were "The Cowboy's Lament" and "The Lone star Trail". Ken Maynard, along with Tom Mix, and Buck Jones and Hoot Gibson were responsible for popularizing authentic western film on Hollywood's Silver Screen in the 1920's.....
