Unique to the MWSD world, here are square dance callers with the talent to sing "cowboy songs" - yes, singing without the calls. The Hi Hat Pioneers featuring Ernie Kinney, Bronc Wise, Tom Perry, and Burlin Davis along with some fine studio musicians present the album, "Autumn On The Trail".
Released in 1984 on cassette tape, this is the third album for the group and highlights the tight harmonies and evolving sound.
