Tom Russell - Indians Cowboys Horses Dogs
Release Date Feb 24 2004
Label - Hightone
This is Tom Russell's third album of cowboy/western material. Tom
grew up around Southern California horserace tracks and his family's
ranch in the Los Angeles suburbs -- and musically, listening to Tex
Ritter, Marty Robbins, and other singers of western material. He's
written a number of songs that have become standards of the cowboy
poetry/western genre, both on his own, and with Ian Tyson,
including "Claude Dallas," "Navajo Rug," "The Rose of the San
Joaquin," and "The Sky Above, The Mud Below." This CD covers a range
of western and cowboy related material, both traditional and
contemporary. There are several new Russell originals
including "Bucking Horse Moon," written together with noted cowboy
poet Paul Zarzyski, "Tonight We Ride," and the children's
song, "Little Blue Horse." There are Russell interpretations of
songs by Bob Dylan (the rarity "Seven Curses"), Woody Guthrie, Steve
Gillette and Linda Thompson. Tom also takes on Johnny Cash's "The
Ballad of Ira Hayes" and Marty Robbins' "El Paso" featuring Tex-Mex
accordion legend Joel Guzman. Other guest musicians featured on
INDIANS COWBOYS HORSES DOGS include Andrew Hardin, Joel Guzman, Eliza
Gilkyson, and Elana Fremerman from the Hot Club of Cowtown.
Tracks:
Tonight We Ride / Seven Curses / El Paso / All This Way For the Short
Ride / Bucking Horse Moon / Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts /
No Telling / Bacon Rind, Chief Seattle, The Ballad of Ira Hayes / Old
Blue / East Texas Red / The Ballad of Edward Abbey / Little Blue Horse
