Giddy Up, Partner! Rare Snapshots of Roy Rogers’ Cowboy Chronicles!
A New Beginning
After The O-Bar-O Cowboys disbanded in 1933, Roy sought a fresh start. He joined forces with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer to form The Pioneers Trio. Their harmonies gained depth when Hugh Farr, a fiddle player with a rich bass voice, joined them.
During a radio performance, an announcer humorously renamed them “Sons of the Pioneers,” noting they were too young to be pioneers. The group embraced the new name, and it stuck. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for Roy, setting the stage for their rise to fame in the world of Western music.
