This review is from: Cowboy Girl (Audio CD)

This is an album of folk-country music sung in a very traditional style, with only guitar, bass and mandolin to support Katy's lovely alto voice. The theme of this album happens to be cowboys, but it's actually a great collection of (mostly) story songs, sung by somebody who clearly loves the music.

Katy wrote two of the songs (Black-eyed Caballero, Magdalena and the jack of spades), while her brother Hugh, also a fine singer, wrote another (The ghost light of Marfa). The others are from a variety of sources, including Joe Ely (Indian cowboy), Norman Blake (Ol' Bill Miner) and Tom Russell (Hallie Lonigan), but also several much older songs. By far the most famous is The wayward wind, a song I never tire of hearing, especially when it's done as well as it is here.

This album is not one to be played as a background to whatever else you are doing - it requires and deserves your dedicated attention. For that reason alone, it will never sell in huge quantities, but many of those who do buy it will appreciate it all the more. Albums like this are few and far between.

Katy Moffatt is terrific, her version of Me and My Uncle is the best around. The buzz about her is much less than the quality of her work deserves.
