25 Cowboy Classics Nevada Slim Signing Songs Of The Wild West - Dallas Turner CD

One of the Kings Of Border Radio!At a young age Dallas Turner listened intently to the cowboy singers that he heard on Border Radio, being particularly influenced by Cowboy Slim Rinehart. A self taught guitar player, at age 16 he left his home in 1946 to follow his dream of becoming a Border Radio Star. Turner rode the bus to the Mexico Border where he landed himself a job on the most powerful radio station in the world X E G and met his idol Cowboy Slim Rinehart. Slim (also known as Nolan Rinehart) gave Dallas his first big break. Slim and Dallas took the radio world by storm performing alongside Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry, Roy Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, Patsy Montana and Wolfman Jack. Slim and Dallas were affectionately known as the Kings of Border Radio. Turner appeared on various radio programs on X E R F, X E L O and X E G, sometimes singing under his own name but usually under an alias such as Nevada Slim or Yodelin Slim Dallas. He proved popular with sponsors of the programs, since he was a most competent pitchman for their products and became a favorite on Border Radio for 30 years.In the mid 60 s, Turner recorded transcription programs that were broadcast by several important U S stations including W W V A Wheeling and W C K Y Cincinnati. Dallas Turner recorded eight albums for Rural Rhythm Records which were produced by Uncle Jim O Neal. Rural Rhythm Records is proud to make some of these true historic original cowboy recordings from 1967 available again.
