Wagons Ho!
AMG EXPERT REVIEW CowbovEnvy is at it again riding the musical range and tipping their 24-gallon
hats to the cowboy icons of old. Berné Poliakoff, DeDeVogt, and Kathleen Hatfield,
known respectively as Frenchy, TooShort, and Buffalo K, are CowboyEnvy, and lest
you think it's all in good fun, it is. But these gals can sing (even yodel), and
their original compositions sidle right up next to traditional tunes like good cowhands
should. The lovely melody of "Sunrise on the Plains" was penned by Buffalo
K, but could just as well have come from Gene Autry. Their love and reverence for
this genre is unmistakable, as evidenced in the spot-on harmonies of the classic "Red
River Valley," but never fear, their humor comes sneaking through on songs like "Prairie
Rose" and "Round up Time." And Frenchy's "I Left His Heart (In
San Francisco)" is self-proclaimed as "the only known cowboy tribute to
TonyBennett." Fair enough. Sometimes you can judge a CD by its cover. In the
case of Wagons Ho!, what you see is exactly what you get. Not many folks these days
sing of coyotes, plains, wagons, and sage. Maybe they should. Harking back to the
simplicity and innocence of a time long lost, this record is a rare delight. -Kelly
