MikeOQuinn Cowboy Celtic (12) Cowboy Celtic 04 Jan 03


Given the quantity of Celtic and Western folk performers I've seen on here, I thought some of ye might be interested in the CDs I found at Barnes and Noble this evening. It's called "Cowboy Celtic" by David Wilkie and Co. They've got another called "Cowboy Ceilidh"

Here's link to a track listing:

I was intrigued to find such compilations available, having performed in a Cowboy (not country, not western, but cowboy) band for many years, and now pursuing music of a more Irish nature. I picked up "Cowboy Ceilidh", and found that I knew almost all of the songs already, and that they were - to my ear - rather well done and combined! (The set of Buffalo Gals/Old Chisolm Trail/Blacksmith's Reel is rivalled only by the set of Cowboy's Lament(with extra verse referring to the Bard of Armagh)/Kean O'Hara)

All I have to say is: Yippee! Something that makes sense (since a ton of actual cowboy music has its roots across the pond) and is well done. Something I had thought about, but couldn't find enough people to cross genres to do. Something I'll have to do in the future! I highly recommend the CDs.

Best wishes!
