''Go West Young Man'' is a compilation album of songs on one 10" vinyl record by Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters released in 1950 featuring songs that were sung by Crosby and the Sisters with a Western-type genre. This album is one of the first by Crosby to not be released on 78 rpm records before going straight to an LP or set of 45s. ''Go West Young Man'' includes several songs which had already enjoyed Billboard chart success. “Along the Navajo Trail” reached the No. 2 position in 1945 and "One Hundred and Sixty Acres", "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?" and "Quicksilver" also charted. ==Reception== The album itself was not reviewed but Billboard commented on several of the tracks when they were issued as singles. Good, Good, Good—Along the Navajo Trail With tunes tailor-made for their singing talents, Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters indulge in a rhythmic songfest for both of these sides. Both are entirely in their element for the rumba-brushed “Good, Good, Good,” with Bing painting a Latin troubadour expertly for this lively spinning. Tempo is geared to the slow blues for “Along the Navajo Trail,” blending the hillbilly with the breakaway. For both spins, Vic Schoen provides a pert rhythmic pattern. With both songs of major import, this number is a double entry for the jukes, particularly potent for “Good, Good, Good.” Tallahassee – Go West, Young Man Strong material, a solid record-selling name combination—maybe not at their very best, yet good enough to be better than most—and this twosome certainly stacks up a sure-fire two-sided juke attraction. Newly hatched Decca promotion activities will be employed much in the same, and a successful manner that was applied to the Jolson-Crosby “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” on this disking and should cull for it added retail attraction. But “Tallahassee” with its very clever second-chorus Crosby-Patti Andrews duet and its strength as song material, and “Go West,” with its light-hearted lyrical ribbing of the California Chamber of Commerce given the Crosby and Andrews touch, should hardly require a fanfare to make the hit grade. Both tunes are from films, “Go West” from “Copacabana” and the other from “Variety Girl.” At the Flying “W” Surefire Rhythm novelty featuring a twin box office attraction. A Hundred and Sixty Acres Same combine do full justice to a tune that’s not up to the topside’s standard. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You Ditty’s a sprightly mountain-musiker that had its innings a couple of years back on straight hillbilly diskings. Bing and the gals are in top form as they harmonize it to a spanking fare-thee-well. Lock, Stock and Barrel Smart pop corn ditty could be a bit too sophisticated, tho there’s name power insurance here. Ask Me No Questions The meritorious Saxon-Wells opus, in this relaxed harmony version, could score in both pop and country markets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Go West Young Man (Bing Crosby album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
