The All Star Western Theatre graced the airwaves in the mid-1940's and was made up of a variety of different shows. The shows delivered riotous laughs and down-to-earth humor that was a pleasant alternative to other heavier and intense programs. The music of these old radio shows was done by a group called "The Riders of the Purple Sage," and was fronted by Foy Willing. Enjoy a rootin' tootin' hoe-down with the best of the West and download All Star Western Theatre today! Of the 78 episodes produced, Otter lists 66 that are in circulation today.
