Cowboy Songs, Ballads, and Cattle Calls from Texas

There is nothing here of the drugstore cowboy or of the sweet and polished renditions heard on the jukebox. As a result, the listener hears the songs as they were actually sung in the cow country of Texas. With the exception of two selections, all of the selections on this compact disc were recorded on portable equipment by John A. Lomax, the first and greatest collector of the cowboy songs of the West. Includes such classic cowboy songs as "Goodbye, Old Paint," "The Zebra Dun," "The Dying Ranger," "The Streets of Laredo," and others. L. Parker Temple / John A. Lomax / Jess Morris / Sloan Matthews / Johnny Prude / J.M. Waddell / Harry Stephens
