Some of the greatest names in music have come together to celebrate Gene Autry's 100th birthday with this special tribute album.
Recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles by artists who grew up admiring Gene, and a few who even knew the Cowboy personally, Boots Too Big To Fill highlights songs that Gene wrote, made into big hits, and ones he featured in his movies, radio shows, and TV series. Rather than re-create the songs the way Gene performed them, the producers let each song tell them how it wanted to be sung and played by these world-class artists and musicians of today.
