The Cass County was probably the best singing cowboy trio next to the Sons of the Pioneers. In fact, these boys backed Gene Autry up on his show and also recorded many of his later records with him. Fred Martin was the lead vocalist, and accordionist , Bert Dodson played bass and Jerry Scoggins was responsible for the guitar work. On these items from 1949 to 1952 Noel Boggs was added to do the steel guitar work. He is also featured on the instrumentals included in this album.
