Review on 🌾 Tumbleweed Tumblers by Jonathan Lamp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brings back good memories

I love this CD. Most of the compilations are classic western songs that I remember for a long time. Roy Rogers contributes a lot to the performances with his beautiful singing voice. The reason I bought the CD was to get "Blue Prairie". In my opinion this is an excellent rendition of the song, far superior to other Sons of the Pioneers recordings of the same track. It has an undercurrent of Depression-era bitterness and heartache that makes the song more meaningful. The tempo and the instrumental parts are perfect. It's impressive and haunting. The lyrics of this version of Blue Prairie are slightly different from other versions I've heard.
