Editorial Reviews

Much like his namesake Clint Eastwood (whose sole album is also a Real Gone release), Clint Walker was the star of a TV western (Cheyenne) who parlayed his TV stardom into a recording contract, and, like Clint, being a TV cowboy he went country on this 1959 Warner Bros. release. Or rather country gospel, for Clint's Crosby-like croonings reveal a somewhat gentler soul than his steely-eyed counterpart. In fact, Clint is a heck of a singer, and the label surrounded him with top-notch talent, in this case arranger/conductor Ralph Carmichael, vocal arranger Jimmy Joyce and Hollywood's finest session men including organist Buddy Cole for what is an unexpectedly musically satisfying affair that has since become something of a cult classic. And for this Expanded Edition, we've added Clint's single-only rendition of "Silver Bells!" Notes by Todd Everett featuring quotes from Clint plus photos round out the set.

The Raven

When I see that an item is a cult-classic, I am always attracted. In addition to the oddity that Clint does not sing on all of the tracks, his backup singers, The "Sunflower Singers" have been billed as the "Sunset Singers" elsewhere in the liner notes. Warner Brothers should have pushed Mr. Walker to record more of these heart-felt songs (perhaps they felt that he wasn't as pop as the market dictated).

Why is this collection of hymns and inspirational music an anomaly? Clint could have been very successful as a singer had he gone the music route. It is incredibly beautiful, and he is a brilliant interpreter of these gems. One wishes that he had recorded much more.

If Warners has any more of Clint's music in the vaults, I would love to hear it. In the meantime, we will have to be content with this 1955 offering from a man who is as beautiful inside as he is outside.

What a hidden talent.

If you're a fan of his acting, this is for you. The same gentleness of character can be found in his vocal delivery of some lovely songs, simplistic and forthright in their message. A real gem!! It's a shame he wasn't contractually allowed to sing whilst acting on Cheyenne. Sadly, this lacks his performance of 'Angie' from Night of the Grizzly, but it's some of the easiest listening that you can imagine.

Beautiful songs and voices.

The songs chosen for this CD are certainly inspirational. However, I did not know that Clint Walker wouldn't be singing all of them. I assumed the Sunset Singers would be accompanying him, not performing half the tunes without Clint Walker's beautiful voice. Somewhat disappointing but enjoyable nonetheless.

I love Clint Walker and with his great speaking voice it was not a shock he could also sing well. This newer CD has added to the orogonal...now he included patriotic & Cmas. I think he sings too fast & I am assuming he just sings as it is & does not add different quirks singers have as their own. I was happy Amazon had it so I bought the newer....Great going AMAZON. You have rarely disappointed me.

Clint Walkers Beautiful Voice

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

The only downside to this was the background vocalist. I feel the ladies “angelic” voices were too much.
I purchased this to enjoy Clint Walker’s voice. Not theirs.
Wish I could find more CDs by Mr. Walker.

Clint Walker has a beautiful voice. I loved all the songs. Wish those girls we not on the album and he was singiing all the songs. Wish he had made more albums in his prime...some of the cowboy songs.
