Cowboy Ballads
Cisco Houston
$19.95
Cisco Houston's first solo album on Folkways Records represents a small portion of the artist's repertoire of American folk music. Extensive liner notes (complete with a glossary of cowboy slang such as "dogie: a calf that lost its mammy and whose daddy has run off with another cow") accompany this collection of tunes of the lonely cowboy and his guitar.
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution, the national museum of the United States. It arose when the Smithsonian acquired a vast collection of recordings from Folkways Records. As a condition of the acquisition, the Smithsonian agreed that virtually all of the firm's titles would remain "in print" forever, a condition that Smithsonian Folkways continues to honor.
