This CD is meant to be a journey West in music and rhyme. Welcome to Travelin’ West. The westward movement of America with its challenges for a new life are part of both our families’ DNA. Going west meant you had to be mentally tough to survive.
In this CD there are some miniature-movies, dark dramas, cowboys on prancing ponies, some spiritual topics not normally sung about, a ghost song, a celebration of Australian Shepherd, the Mexican winds that heat up West Texas and New Mexico and a few winks and nods to old song traditions that came West with the immigrants and changed around campfires and social gatherings. We tried to include songs that are unvarnished and not overly produced. The West will never be like it was a hundred years ago, or even fifty years ago. Yet, we can pay homage to that tradition. The West is changing even now, and the journey continues. We hope there is something here for you to enjoy and even ponder a bit. Thanks for your support. -Allan Chapman & Rodeo Kate |
