Squan River Band - Cowboy Songs Of Long Ago

Review by Judy Cullins

Cowboy Songs Of Long Ago, the latest album by Squan River Band, is a nostalgic tribute to the cowboy songs of yesteryear. The album features a collection of classic cowboy ballads and traditional folk tunes, all delivered with the band's signature blend of acoustic instruments and rich vocal harmonies.

From the opening track, "The Streets of Laredo," Squan River Band sets the tone for the album with a haunting rendition of this traditional cowboy ballad. The band's use of acoustic guitar, fiddle, and mandolin create a mournful atmosphere that perfectly captures the somber tone of the song.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Home on the Range," "Red River Valley," and "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie." These songs are all classics of the cowboy songbook, and Squan River Band does them justice with their heartfelt performances.

Summary by Judy Cullins

Cowboy Songs Of Long Ago is a delightful album that will appeal to fans of traditional country and folk music. It's clear that Squan River Band has a deep respect for the cowboy song tradition, and their passion for these timeless tunes shines through in every track. Highly recommended.
