Editorial Reviews

Mark Bridge, Lone Hand Western Journal

"Buck Howdy's the best thing since Gene Autry . . . more ‘western' than the Pony Express."

Product Description

A delightful combination of classic songs from the past like "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", "Alley Oop" and "The Unicorn" (as they've never been done before) and original offerings such as "Buckaroo", "Skidaddle!" and "One Day Soon" from a great new artist. Buck Howdy delivers these recordings with fun and freshness unmatched in the children's music market.

Kenny Curtis, Program Director of XM Satellite Radio says it best, "From Cowboys to Cow-pies, 'Skidaddle!' has the Wild West covered! Buck Howdy's resonant, textured drawl is rich with character and flavor, and the CD is a wonderful change-of-pace (literally) from much of the manic programming that leaps out of the small screen at kids today. He's either the next Roy Rogers or the previous one reincarnated. I can't decide which."

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down this is the best kids' CD in decades!, May 18, 2002

This review is from: Skidaddle! (Audio CD)

First an admission - I bought this CD for my 3 and 5 year-olds to listen to - but I've snuck it out of the house on more than one occassion to listen to in my car during my commute. It's that good!

As for the kids, the first time it got played at home it instantly became the most requested CD in the house - in fact if all the other kid CDs in the house vanished i doubt the kids would know.

The CD is great in so many different ways - it is never condescending (like so many other children's albums); the variety is delightful; the pacing is perfect; and the arrangements of all the songs are so fresh that we never tire of it.

Mr. Howdy, wherever you are, you have set a new standard for kids' music and made huge fans out of our family. Thank you!

Final thought - don't think you've gotta be a country fan to enjoy this CD. My wife HATES country and this is her new favorite music! We're buying more copies, not only for our house but also because from now on Buck Howdy is going to be our standard birthday gift for all of our kids' friends. A legend is born!

We originally discovered Buck Howdy at our local library, it was love at first listen and we renewed it the maximum times allowed. Recently my daughter age 5 wanted to listed to "that ghost riders" song and my son age 2 was known to recite "if there's a skunk in your bunk...," so I decided it was time to buy our own copy. We love it now even more! All the tracks are singable and enjoyable to listen to regardless of age. Like other parents have said Buck Howdy is a CD that can keep on playing even if you ever find yourself alone in the vehicle. We highly recommend the Buck Howdy - Skidaddle CD to everyone and just bought another copy for our children's Montessori school.

I have a little baby who does not like to ride in the vehichle, but as soon as we turn on any of Buck Howdy's music she stops crying. I would recommend his CD's to anyone. They have been a lifesaver to us.
