Hot Club of Cowtown

Limelight   digital album

(Gold Strike Records)



A right wingding! Some cuts rally with the spiritedness of lanky hands and fetching home-gals ballin' it up, while others ruminate with gentility. But know that each springs from the wonderfully simplistic rustic culture in which plain folks turned hands to music-making that swelled hearts practically to bursting. Pearly guitar notes are buffed to glistening. The doghouse knows the way home with its headlamps shut. And no ankle will remain unbent when the fiddle kicks up dust. Sonorous voices from our back-country heritage are enough to make foreigners wish they called America home.

You just know Pat Buttram and Smiley Burnette would've dug this.

Recommended: "Red River Valley," "Amari Szi Amari," "Lily Dale," "Djangology," "I'm Feelin' Bad," "When the Cactus Is in Bloom," "Hoedown Lowdown," "Buffalo Gals"

Videos: "Djangology" (live)   "I'm Feelin' Bad" (live)   "Buffalo Gals" (live)
