Though today the great Billy Hill is probably best known for the standard, "The Glory of Love," aficionados associate the songwriter more closely with his many wonderful, picturesque cowboy tunes, such as "The Last Round-Up, "Wagon Wheels" and "Empty Saddles." Our genial Mr Robertson sounds entirely at home in the lyric's rustic surroundings, and the instrumental support is splendid, with cornetist Bobby Hackett; clarinetist Sid Tucker; guitarist Frank Victor; trombonist Al Philburn and pianist Frank Signorelli stepping out in exemplary fashion.
