BB's new love is cowboy songs. These sorts of passions develop slowly. First, he liked a little classic country, like Hank Williams. Then we got him a CD from the library of Charlie Daniels talking and singing about cowboys. I'm not such a fan of Daniels' jingoism, so we've expanded the range and included some more traditional versions. Here's the latest song list:
Whoopi Ti YI Yo, Don Edwards
Get Along, Little Dogies, Tex Ritter
Saturday Night In Abilene, The Charlie Daniels Band
John Henry, The Charlie Daniels Band
Back In the Saddle Again, Gene Autry
Mule Train, Frankie Laine
Riders In the Sky, Vaughn Monroe
The Old Chisholm Trail, Don Edwards & Peter Rowan
Home On the Range, Gene Autry
It's a thrill to hear BB singing "Get Along, Little Dogies" under his breathe while he's playing at other things. He even reaches for Tex Ritter's hooting twang while he's singing.
