The ultimate concept album, Wind in the Wire is the soundtrack to a western movie that never was. Great singing-cowboy tunes makes this album an instant classic!

I first enjoyed this album nearly 20 years ago. It's a great collection of 'country-traditional-western-cowboy-songs' and the stand-out track is Paniolo Country. Randy's vocals were in fine form and this Warner Bros release accompanied a movie with Chuck Norris and Burt Reynolds of the same name.

Other notable tracks include the haunting title track, about the darker side of cowboy life. The stirring vocals, as Randy sings 'Beyond the campfire light, through the stillness of the night, came the call of the coyote choir, and the song of the wind in the wire'.

The album also covers Bob Wills territory with several Texas Swing numbers that include the excellent Roamin' Wyomin' and Cowboy Boogie with it's fabulous foot-warming chorus.

As a side note, this is also one of the finest album cover shots of Randy!

You won't hear this style of country on the radio anymore, making it an extra special item to own.

Maybe it's my predjudice for Western and Cowboy music, but for my money this is Randy's best album ever.

The selection of songs is outstanding and Randy does his best work presenting each number.

I wish he would do more in this style.
