As described by Gene Autry Entertainment:
Cowboy Hymns & Songs of Inspiration is a stirring collection of music compiled from Gene's CBS radio show Melody Ranch, his movies, his recordings, and his television program, The Gene Autry Show. Many of these performances have never been available on CD before and several others have not been heard since their original broadcast on radio. A number of the tracks also feature Gene Autry’s personal comments and introductions to the songs, adding to the intimacy of the collection. Gene's official biographer, Holly George-Warren, wrote the liner notes. Cowboy Hymns & Songs of Inspiration documents Gene's enduring and heartfelt approach to spiritual song craft.
