"About the artist:
With the release of "Writing on Stone", 20-year Alaskan singer-songwriter Buddy Tabor is creating new fields from old soil. "Buddy Tabor is a player and a poet," said the late Townes Van Zandt, for whom Tabor opened during one stop of the legendary artist's 1994 Alaskan tour. Writing On Stone is Tabor's second CD, but his fifth recording release. The album includes 15 original songs, Including I Never Prayed for Elvis, Stories Made of Beauty, New Fallen Snow (lament for Townes Van Zandt), Songs of Joy and Sorrow and Moment of Conception."

Buddy's songs are wonderfully crafted and some of them, I think, will become classics. Some old ones, among many, are 'Mr. Basketball Shoes" and "Cowboy in a Wheelchair". Some of the new ones:"Jesus Loves Me (more than he loves you); "Canyon de Chelly"; "Wild Horses"; "A Man Called Rush"- lots more. He is prolific.

Not nearly all of Buddy's songs and CDs are listed on the efolk site. If you are interested, PM me and I'll put you in touch.
