5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful fun!, March 6, 2005
By J. Babcock (Kensington, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I received this CD set for my birthday after being a fan of Baxter Black for years on NPR. I have enjoyed the CD's greatly. The tracks range from hilarious to exuberant to deeply touching. Some tracks, of course, are a little better than others. but I have gotten so much enjoyment from these discs. I heartily recommend them to anyone who has enjoyed listening to Baxter Black on the radio or to anyone who enjoys humor and stories about real people with a western flavor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cowboy crossover . . ., March 6, 2006
Baxter Black is kind of the Garrison Keillor of Western humor, a man in a cowboy hat whose country sensibility crosses over to the mainstream - if urban listeners to NPR count as part of the mainstream. Western humor is often self-deprecating and relishes irones, but under it there is a heartfelt love of the cowboy way and the vanishing values that the cowboy represents - self-reliance, respect for the land, hard work, honesty, fearlessness, the whole code of the West. Black's devotion to those values seems often a winking one. While his wit and cleverness are unparalleled, and his knowledge of his subject matter as a "large animal veterinarian" is unimpeachable, the resonance for me is too often with the funny bone and not the heart.

While I'll be the first to champion Black's "Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky" as a great comic novel, the material on this double CD seems of a different kind. The humor is often more like clowning, and the lapses into pure sentiment, such as the long story poem "He Sang, 'Little Joe the Wrangler'" go for broke, but will seem too far over the top for some listeners. While Black is certainly among the best for cowboy humor and cowboy poetry, this recording lacks the depth of a Wally McRae or Paul Zarzyski, whose work seems more loyal to Elko than NPR.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Baxter, May 12, 2007
By CT (Colorado) - See all my reviews
Very disappointing CD--Dry, repetitive, and hard to believe, boring.
There is much better Baxter available on his self produced live CD's.
Buy them and by all means, see him in person.
