Song Of The Day #123

Ranch Radio says let's have a double doss of Al Dexter and His Troopers this morning.

We'll start with his #1 hit from 1943 Pistol Packin' Mama. Republic Pictures made a movie with the same title and based on the song, and the tune became the marching chorus for the 1943 New York Yankess. We'll follow that with I Learned About Love.

Dexter was another one of those early country singers who seemed to have heck with women. Poor ol' Al, they were either packin' a gun or hangin' around cocktail bars.

Go here to check out his music.
