Rawhide

Before all of R.W.'s heroes left us, he teamed up with friends Don Edwards, Rich O'Brien, and The Sons of The San Joaquin to pay tribute to the original singing cowboys like Roy, Gene, Rex Allen, Frankie Laine, Marty Robbins and Tex Ritter. As R.W. said, "If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have had the adventures of boyhood that led me to where I am today." R.W. created Ridin' The Dreamland Range for young and old alike. The album features some of the singing cowboys' greatest songs along with some fine Western movie themes and several catchy Hampton originals. It received the 1997 Academy of Western Artists' Will Rogers Award for Album of the Year.

"Pistol Packin' Mama" is a 1943 song with the words composed by Al Dexter, who adapted the melody from Boil Them Cabbage Down. [1] The song is notable in that it was the first number one on the Juke Box Folk Records chart, which was later known as the Hot Country Songs chart. The version performed by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters[2] was the first number on the Juke Box Folk records charts followed by the original version (recorded March 18, 1942) performed by Al Dexter[3] released on Okeh 6708.[1] The B-side of the Al Dexter version of "Pistol Packin' Mama, a song entitled "Rosalita", would hit number one on the same chart later in the year. The song is also featured in the video game Fallout 4 on the in-game radio.
It is also continually referenced in Spike Milligan's "Goodbye Soldier", which is part of his memoirs of the war and just after it. In it he states that as Mussolini did not like Jazz, after he was defeated the Italians were getting into Jazz, and as this song was popular at the time this was one of the songs Milligan and his group was often asked to sing, he also states that this is one of the main songs sung by Italian Jazz Bands (in fact he states that some bands only ever sung this song)
