Synopsis

Product Description

I never would have guessed that a collection of cowboy songs would do so well as Saddle Songs did back in 1998. Our humble little record company and I were most surprised and honored when it won the Association For Independent Music 'Indie' Award for Best Traditional Folk Music in 1998. It's been nearly six years since Saddle Songs and now here we are in the twenty-first century and all the more reason for Saddle Songs II: The Last of the Troubadours. The title was taken from O.Henry's story about a cowboy troubadour by the name of Sam Galloway who reminded us that although Tommy Tucker may have sung for his supper, a true troubadour would have his supper and then sing for art's sake. - Don Edwards

CD Reviews

Cowboy Basic

William T. Cuzick | 09/14/2005

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Compendium of mostly old and not particularly well known western songs. Don Edwards has a very good voice which is the high point of these recordings; otherwise the CD does not reach out and grab you. For the western purist, the old cattle songs are reminiscent of a day gone by."

Where's the coyotes?

R. Sartori | New Mexico | 09/09/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great album, but I'm not sure he shoulda added the "Saddle Songs, Vol. II" to the title, as this collection is much more subdued than his previous double cd "Saddle Songs". If you're expecting a repeat of that collection with different songs, you may be disappointed. Disc 2 gets a liilte more upbeat in spots, but is still quite a bit more mellow than Vol. 1. Having said that, this is well worth the purchase, whichever you like better. I don't know of any other artist who has compiled a collection of cowboy songs as great, and sang them as well, as Mr. Edwards. He has a great voice and is a great picker. Unlike the other reviewer, I would play this at a cookout, but I'd wait till everyone'd had a few and it was time to calm down... My only complaint is that neither this collection, nor the first one, contain the song "Coyotes", which is available on "The Best Of..." as well as "The Bard & The Balladeer" a live cd w/ Waddie Mitchell. It shoulda found a place on one of these..."

What can you say about a classic?

"Don Edwards is by far the best cowboy singer in the business. His quiet and unassuming manner, his down home personality when talking with you are what he's about. And it comes through in his music. He's great!"
