| Professional Review: |
| A "cosmic cowboy" in the country-rocking '70s, Michael Martin Murphey revived his career as a cowboy traditionalist with this 1990 release. Mixing campfire chestnuts such as "Home on the Range, "I Ride an Old Paint," and "Happy Trails" with contemporary hokum such as "Cowboy Logic," the album returned the western to the music formerly known as country and western, and its success inspired a series of sequels on the Warner Western label. Though nothing here is as cloying as 1975's "Wildfire" ballad, Murphey's biggest hit, this smooth stylist emphasizes the romance rather than the grittier realities of the cowboy's life. --Don McLeese |

Summary: This album offers a real taste of cowboy music. This was the first Michael Martin Murphy album I purchased. The songs on this album cover a wide spectrum of cowboy songs, real Western music which is distinctly different from Country music. Some of the songs evoke real deep emotions, the kind that a cowboy would experience whether he was alone on the trail, riding a cattledrive or in a frontier town where anything could happen. The album contains a lot of favourites like Tumbling Tumbleweeds and Happy Trails. It has a few that have become favourites. There are a couple that will make you laugh like Cowboy Logic and especially Where Do Cowboys Go When They Die/Reincarnation. Murphy is accompanied by many well know artists and the album insert has a small writeup on each song revealing some very interesting information about the songs development and history. Murphy has a easy listening quality to his music and has given me reason to buy three of his other albums. Cowboy Songs III, Cowboy Songs IV and Sagebrush Symphony. I am currently looking for his Christmas album which is Cowboy Songs II. I've learned that there is a lot more to Michael Martin Murphy since I first heard Wildfire back in the 70's and I would recommend his music to anyone who appreciates the real music of the west. Summary: Great for a night around the campfire. If you long for music that can transform you to a different place and time, this is it. The song selection is excellent, though some of the background vocals are a little irritating. Still, MMM effectively delivers the mood. It's a great cd to play along on a guitar. Additionally, I enjoyed the narrative of the background on the songs included in the jacket. Summary: This is one CD I enjoy playing while riding horses.l If you like to ride things and enjoy the old west. You will enjoy this music. It is filled with up and slow beat stuff. I recommend this to any cowboy from the west. Summary: Was realy pleased with lay out, and the style of the music. This has to be one of my favorite CD's. I wore out my first copy and am working on number two! I can't praise this album enough! Summary: Cowboy songs are for everyone This wonderful CD contains many of the best known traditional cowboy songs, simply and winningly performed. The Western experience has had a profound effect on the development of American culture, and cowboy songs offer a way for all of us to connect with this vital part of American history. No matter where in America you live, and no matter when you or your family first arrived here, these songs are -- or should be -- part of our common cultural heritage. They are uniquely American. Listen to this record, learn the songs, and teach them to your children. |
