Product Description:
The most popular radio adventure show in history, The Lone Ranger held an audience of millions spellbound for over two decades. Key to its success was the music used on it-music rendered so beautifully, chosen with such delicate precision, that for half a century listeners have frantically searched for an answer to the question, "What was the music used on the Lone Ranger?" This book answers that question and many more, including, "Who performed it?" "Who recorded it?" "When?" "Where?". Set in Detroit, New York, Hollywood, and Mexico City against a backdrop of cliffhanging events that shaped the broadcasting industry, the story is as great an adventure as any heard on the show itself.

Everyone thinks of the Lone Ranger when they hear the William Tell Overture, but that long-running radio show used lots of other classical music, and other music including some from a 1938 movie serial about the masked man, during its long run and eventual move to television. Now readers can find out what all that music was, its sources, and how it wound up in a western adventure show. The author has done yeoman research in recreating this history of a radio classic.

This book is a quite pleasant surprise. It's written in a folksy, conversational style, befitting its less-than-earthshaking subject. However, Jones' research into the origins of the Lone Ranger Mood Music Library seems of consistently high caliber. His encyclopedic knowledge of the romantic composers rivals that of the dedicated staff that assembled this wonderful conglomeration of memorable themes which introduced so many young people (including me) to the magical world of classical music. ...

Reginald Jones has done scholarship a real service by uncovering the most minute details of the economic and physical circumstances behind the production of the haunting background music for "The Lone Ranger" radio and television series. This thoroughly researched book should be known by historians, film critics, literary theorists, and anyone who has ever wondered not only what that music was but why it sounded the way it did. A landmark wedding of devotion to a cause with meticulous archival study.
