Way Out West [Gold Limited Edition] by Sonny Rollins on CD
The timeless Way Out West established Sonny Rollins as jazz's top tenor saxophonist (at least until John Coltrane surpassed him the following year). Joined by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Shelly Manne, Rollins is heard at one of his peaks on such pieces as "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)," his own "Way Out West," "There Is No Greater Love," and "Come, Gone" (a fast stomp based on "After You've Gone"). The William Claxton photo of Rollins wearing Western gear (and holding his tenor) in the desert is also a classic. [Contemporary's 2000 re-release appended three bonus tracks, all of them alternate takes. JVC's 2003 reissue included two of those and featured enhanced sound. The 2001 Analogue Productions version featured no bonus tracks, but appeared on a gold CD.] ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
