Comments from Frank

Round-Up Rangers sounds like it would be a common enough name, but there was really only one I could find: Charlie Herald And His Round-Up Rangers. They released a handful of 78s in the 30s on Bluebird. This sounds like it could be the same band without the vocalist, but I can't be sure until I do some more research and ask around.
