Five old-time cowboy songs that Slim Rafferty sings in Charles Lee Jackson II's newest entry in the Emperor's Secret Files series, Trail Riders: "Streets
of Laredo," "Home on the Range," "Foggy Foggy Dew,"
"The Old Chisholm Trail," and "Sweet Betsy from Pike".
Of
these CLJII writes that: "Streets of Laredo" is a traditional US
folk song derived from
the English folk ballad "The Unfortunate Lad";
"Home on the Range" was written by Brewster M. Higley and Daniel E.
Kelley, and arranged by David W. Guion; "Foggy Foggy Dew" is a
traditional English Folk Song; "The Old Chisholm Trail" is a
traditional US folk song; "Sweet Betsy from Pike" was written by John
A. Stone."

Now
Bill Mills, the real-life singer/performer who also appears as a character
in The Emperor's Gambit and other Emperor adventures, has recorded all
five songs and you can hear them free.
The
Emperor says: "Join in the extra fun of Trail Riders with this special
bonus feature. Yuh kin hear Slim Rafferty's songs, performed by my own sidekick, Bill
Mills (yuh 'member him from The Emperor's Gambit and The Emperor
Marked for Death, right?). Yuh kin kick up yuhr heels and dance, or jest
sing along with these traditional Western tunes."
