5.0 out of 5 stars Where's the coyotes?, September 9, 2006

This review is from: Last Of The Troubadors (Audio CD)

This is a great album, but I'm not sure he shoulda added the "Saddle Songs, Vol. II" to the title, as this collection is much more subdued than his previous double cd "Saddle Songs". If you're expecting a repeat of that collection with different songs, you may be disappointed. Disc 2 gets a liilte more upbeat in spots, but is still quite a bit more mellow than Vol. 1. Having said that, this is well worth the purchase, whichever you like better. I don't know of any other artist who has compiled a collection of cowboy songs as great, and sang them as well, as Mr. Edwards. He has a great voice and is a great picker. Unlike the other reviewer, I would play this at a cookout, but I'd wait till everyone'd had a few and it was time to calm down... My only complaint is that neither this collection, nor the first one, contain the song "Coyotes", which is available on "The Best Of..." as well as "The Bard & The Balladeer" a live cd w/ Waddie Mitchell. It shoulda found a place on one of these...

Compendium of mostly old and not particularly well known western songs. Don Edwards has a very good voice which is the high point of these recordings; otherwise the CD does not reach out and grab you. For the western purist, the old cattle songs are reminiscent of a day gone by.

Don Edwards is by far the best cowboy singer in the business. His quiet and unassuming manner, his down home personality when talking with you are what he's about. And it comes through in his music. He's great!
