Martha Burns The Cowboys Behind 'Cowboy Songs' (NPR) (10) RE: The Cowboys Behind 'Cowboy Songs' (NPR) 05 Dec 10

Ask me, Hal Cannon has done an amazing job. What most impresses me is that he reveals history through music without the historian's typical reliance on song TEXTS. He shows the diversity of the old west by letting us hear it in the songs as they're sung. He makes an absolutely persuasive argument and bases it on sound, rather than on disembodied language.
A bravura performance!
