Lorne Greene, though primarily an actor, secured his place in music history by topping the Billboard pop chart in 1964 with the recitation "Ringo." On the Ponderosa collects that song and Greene's handful of lesser hits, along with a number of album tracks and noncharting singles. Greene had a deep, characteristic baritone that didn't always hit the note, but these sagas of the West are full of personality and drama. When not putting his stamp on such favorites as "Riders in the Sky" and "Sixteen Tons," Greene turns to more unique numbers like the should-have-been hit "An Ol' Tin Cup (And a Battered Ol' Coffee Pot)." "Skip to My Lou" showcases the vocal "talents" of Greene's fellow Bonanza cast members, and "Saga of the Ponderosa" is a long, tedious recitation performed in the character of Ben Cartwright. On the Ponderosa is the perfect solution for those who want to sample Greene's singing career without investing in Bear Family's Bonanza box set. ~ Greg Adams, Rovi
