 As seen on the label, Gene Autry's later signature tune was first titled "Back To The Saddle" although he never sings it like that (he had made a film though in 1937, Boots and Saddles, in which he sang the rather similar "Take Me Back To My Boots And Saddle"). Anyway, when the record was issued on the OKeh label around mid-1940, the song was retitled like its refrain, "Back In The Saddle Again". It was also subtitled as "Theme Song" then, which in retrospect was no exaggeration as it was associated with Autry's career from then on, and in 1976 it became the title of his autobiography.

More surprising, however, is that the first Vocalion issue was not credited to Autry and Ray Whitley like all later issues, but to Cherokose, which seems to point to Eddie Cherkose who was a renowned movie songwriter in the 1930s and 1940s. Although Gene Autry might have bought the song, on closer examination the first credit looks like a mistake. Actually Cherkose had written "Born To The Saddle", sung by Roy Rogers and by The Sons Of The Pioneers, which is an entirely different song.
