The shows, once only available in VHS format on the defunct, public domain Video Resources imprint, are now available on a 42-song DVD set (produced by Stomper Time, and derived from four episodes of the series) titled “Rockin’ On Ranch Party.” I’m sure you may find the title listed on the many, reputable websites which sell home video.

As this website probably eschews specific, commercial referrals, I’ll just clue you in that you don’t have to travel to the “Borders” of the “Amazon” to find this great DVD set, which also features such country & roots rock greats as The Burnette Bros. Trio, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Eddie Cochran, George Jones, Carl Perkins, and Gene Vincent, among many others.

And, FYI, Tex Ritter, the host of “Ranch Party” was also a movie cowboy, and the father of TV comic acting legend John Ritter (“Three’s Company,” “8 Simple Rules . . . For Dating My Teenage Daughter”), grandfather of actor Jason Ritter.

The show’s announcer was Jay Stewart, who would go on to announce for “Let’s Make A deal” with Monty Hall. Another regular “Ranch” hand was Bobby Helms, who recorded the original “Jingle Bell Rock.”

Just for the sights & sounds of Larry Collins working his double-neck guitar like a big boy is worth the price of admission.

Thanks
