Ranch Radio's selection today is by Wilf Carter, aka Montana Slim. The tune is Pete Knight The King Of The Cowboys and was recorded in 1935. Pete Knight was the 4-time world champion saddle bronc rider, 1932, '33, '35 and '36. He was also the 3-time Calgary Stampede champion. He was killed in 1937 at the Hayward, California rodeo. So note the song was recorded two years prior to his death.
The song is available on his 8 disc box set Wilf Carter - Cowboy Songs.
