- Beans, Bacon and Gravy
- The Cat Came Back
- East Texas Red
- New York Town
- They Call The Wind Maria Gil Huston with the Victor Young Orchestra, DECCA 27821
- River of Gold Flip side of the above 1951 78
- Rose, Rose I Love You Gordon Jenkins and his Orchestra, Cisco Huston, Soloist, DECCA 9-27594
A small sampling of the wonderful Cisco material not available on CD. (Which means they are taken from old, scratchy LPs--be warned.)
