Autry Acquires the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Archive
Collection to be made accessible to Researchers and the Public
Posted May 17, 2010

Many Gene Autry fans know that "America's Favorite Singing Cowboy" was friends with "The King of the Cowboys" Roy Rogers and "The Queen of the West" Dale Evans. Even after the singing cowboys and cowgirl retired from movie making, their paths crossed on many occasions, including in the late 1980s for Melody Ranch Theater. Today in the 21st Century, they are "riding the trail" together again, but this time as historic artifacts and documents! We are so pleased to share this news with everyone: The Autry National Center is proud to announce the acquisition of the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Archive containing key artifacts representing their entertainment career spanning more than 50 years.

New Gene Autry CD Release
Updated April 12, 2010

Gene Autry led the way with more Latin music and border songs than any other singing cowboy, serenading audiences from the big screen, hit records, and his radio show. Now, for the first time, these Spanish-language inspired songs are on one collection – South of the Border: Gene Autry Sings Songs of Old Mexico. The performances, ranging from 1936 through 1954, are sourced from Gene's popular musical Western films and his weekly Melody Ranch radio show. Songs with Gene singing in Spanish include South of the Border, You Belong to My Heart (Solmante Una Vez), A Gay Ranchero, and Yours (Quiereme Mucho). Additional tunes inspired by Old Mexico include In A Little Spanish Town, Maria Elena, Mexicali Rose and Down Mexico Way.

The CD South of the Border: Gene Autry Sings Songs of Old Mexico is now in stock and available at the Autry National Center's Museum's Store. Read more about the CD and order it now here.
