From the back cover: Tex Ritter was born in Panola County, Texas and raised in the heart of the Lone Star State's cattle country. He became interested in the heritage and folklore of the Old West at an early age, and furthered this interest at the University of Texas, where he studied with the famed expert on Western Americana, J. Frank Dobie. Tex himself has become recognized as quite an authority in the field, and he actually launched his professional career as a singing lecturer on the subject of authentic American cowboy songs.
From Billboard - November 23, 1963: The new president of the Country Music Association has a pleasant album for his fans here in an excursion into the border territory with a flock of Spanish language offerings. These include "Cielito Lindo," "Guadalajara," "Las Golondrinas," "Alla, En El Rancho Grande" and others. Those deep down Ritter pipes sound in great form and the set should be a good contender for long-term fan appeal.
