Carlos Washington's Steel Horse Swing

A Little Western, a Little Swing

(i2i Records)

Carlos' untroubled drawl is so consonant with this unpretentious rustic lilt that it seems organic, flowing effortlessly in pacific rhythmic offhandeness. Bouncing with steel guitar animations, tastefully picked guitar, and ever-busy fiddle, music of this nature compelled many-a dirt-road couple to whirl across the hardwood, while whooping friends clapped and a Stetson-sporting buckaroo barked directions. Foam-topped glasses should be raised in salute to Carlos and his band for not only realizing Western Swing's potential for lighthearted pleasure, but for maintaining that gem of American popular culture.
