So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

The band Cow Bop is a project led by guitarist Bruce Forman.  He combined two of his favorite styles of music to create what he calls Western Bebop.  His wife, Pinto Pammy, provides some gorgeous vocals (and some impressive yodeling on the closing track).  This release from 2003 is the first of their four available CDs.  I really like all their CDs and got to see them perform at Yoshi's several years ago.  Recommended for any one who has a taste for Western Swing music.

Brilliant collection of mostly self-written material and Prince Phillip Mitchell rides the groove - contributed by the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section - to perfection ....

Veryan Weston-------Gateway to Vienna---------(emanem)

disc one , just not sure how memorable this is. It's well played but it's not engaging my soul much. I'm not familiar with Weston, so I must give it a chance .

Excellent album!

Playing:

Recorded Aug. 8, 1982 as part of the 14th Concord Jazz Festival (a festival which now only lives in memory since the Concord Records label is long gone from Concord).  I really do like this version of "Koto Song" featuring Bill Smith.
