These songs are the real thing, sung and played by one of our very finest cowboy singers. There is a powerful variety of cowboy music here. There are songs with roots in England; songs that pre-date the battle at the Alamo; some sentimental classics; night-herding songs, waltzes, love songs, homilies and reels. Some of the songs were sung at work and some at rest, and Skip has written three new tunes that fit seamlessly, smoothly and surely within the tradition. These are songs with their chaps and boots on. There are no rhinestones or Nashville flash. There is not an illustrated, hand-tooled, gilt-edged, tree-calf, sixty-four track production in the bunch.' --from the liner notes by Jeff Davis
