Justus and the Montanas have to be heard

"Coming from the New Christy Minstrels folk singing group, Justus Strummin' is one of the top line cowboy action shooters. He has merged these experiences in a unique sound in cowboy music. Playing guitar and 5-string banjo, Justus fronts Rick Staples on bass guitar and Eddie Montana who can play anything with strings including the guitar and cowboy fiddle like ringing a bell, as Justus and the Montanas.



If you are considering cowboy music on Americana Gold with spirit and professional sound, you've also got to have Spirit of the American West with songs like Ride Bandito Ride and The Alabama Hills. You'd also want to pick up the Happy Trails Children's Foundation Cowboy Collection, produced by Justus, and The Alabama Hills with Justus and the Montanas.



The Alabama Hills is that stretch of bolders, brush, and valley floor on the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada mountains near Lone Pine, California, just west off Highway 395. The song evokes all those memories when cowboys would play in all those black & white movies of our youth and star in our memories today.



These guys need to be heard, cowboy or otherwise. Here is your chance."
