Description
More than fifty well-loved songs of pioneers, plainsmen, and cowpunchers are gathered in this book, which includes melody lines, guitar chords, and complete lyrics to each song. This collection presents the oldest, most original version of each song. Most were composed between 1880 and 1930. Warm and spirited, these songs vividly depict the rugged strength of western people and the haunting beauty of the western landscape. Hal Cannon, former director of the Western Folklife Center and musician in the Bunkhouse Orchestra, has included an introduction about the history of cowboy songs. - from Amzon
