This is the kind of musical short that Warners produced during the '40s, a filler to be played between double feature showings.Nothing extraordinary here, it's simply a sampling of western songs accompanied by "sing along" lyrics, with favorites like "Oh, Susanna", "Home on the Range" and "Deep in the Heart of Texas", as well as an excerpt from a Dick Foran western where he got to sing "My Little Buckaroo".
One of the numerous musical short subjects that the movie studios churned out, this one purports to offer you a sampling of Western songs from the old west and modern musical westerns: "Home on the Range", "Oh, Susannah", "My Little Buckaroo" and "Deep in the Heart of Texas" are offered for your enjoyment. All are offered as little vignettes; "My Little Buckaroo" is a clip from a Dick Foran musical Western.
Short subject from Warner Bros. pays tribute to some classic western ballads, such as "Home on the Range.
This film is well-made but also pretty dreadful to watch today. It's a combination of good production values from Warner Brothers and a campy schmaltziness that is hard to enjoy.
