Slim Critchlow - guitar and vocals
The old-time cowboy songs grew out of the cow camps, trail herds, and open range - the everyday life of the cowboy. Slim's deep love for the old ways and the old songs - and his natural disdain for the Hollywood version ("With all the boys down in town shootin' each other, it kinda makes you wonder who was out tendin' the cows...." as he puts it) caused him to keep the old songs alive and to hold to the style he had learned from the old-timers during the 1920's and before.
Here is a collection of great songs to ride the trail with us - in our dreams and in our everyday lives, from here to eternity - riding with as good a compadre as could be found in a thousand years.

REVIEW “The guitar playing Critchlow had a warm voice and a winning manner that makes this collection an end to end delight. The songs are 'real' cowboy songs ... and often represent parochial poetry put to music, the stories ... are rich in authentic details and strong on humor (and sometimes salty of language). Good notes, good sound, a fine CD!”(Keith Briggs — Blues & Rhythm) |
