Rough Hewn Melodies From The Heart,
By Gerard Philip Carrier (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Country Songs Of The Old West (Audio CD)
This is a man's CD. Rough lyrics, guitar and banjo playing. Rough, tough, and hardy. Listening to this CD is the closest thing I've heard to being back in the 1880s sitting around a campfire in the wilderness of the Dakotas or Wyoming or Montana. This isn't what you'd call "pretty" music, but it goes right to the heart. Both Lomax and McCurdy have distinctive styles. The first songs are sung by Lomax, who has kind of a wily, whiny, cheap whisky-drinking voice. His songs, "I'm Bound To Follow The Long Horn Cows", "Rambling Gambler", "Sam Bass" and "Billy Barlow" are great renditions. McCurdy has a bigger voice, almost boisterous, his inflections and sarcasms are masterful artistry. He shines on his opening number "When The Works All Done This Fall", "Longside of The Santa Fe Trail" and "Punchin' The Dough". They sound like real cowboys and cattlerivers. Great accompanying instruments: Guitar, Banjo and Harmonica.

I recommend it!,

This review is from: Country Songs Of The Old West (Audio CD)
My parents had an LP with songs 1 - 12 on it, and I loved it then, and love it now. It's great to have those extra songs on it. This is real American folk music, with guts, heart, soul, and humor. My kids like me to sing them to sleep with songs from this CD, and I'm not even a good singer!

Cowboy Songs of the Old West,

This review is from: Country Songs Of The Old West (Audio CD)
Ed McCurdy carries the day on this CD. I first heard it as an LP 45 years ago and always remembered and especially liked Ed's singing of "The Santa Fe Trail" - it sure tells a vivid story. Lomax' songs are good but don't have the heart that McCurdy's do.

Most of these songs I had heard a long, long time ago, and really enjoyed hearing them again.
