Don Edwards, Saddle Songs II: Last of the Troubadors

"I never would have guessed that a collection of cowboy songs would do so well as Saddle Songs did back in 1998. Our humble little record company and I were most surprised and honored when it won the Association For Independent Music 'Indie' Award for Best Traditional Folk Music in 1998.
It's been nearly six years since Saddle Songs and now here we are in the twenty-first century and all the more reason for Saddle Songs II: The Last of the Troubadours. The title was taken from O.Henry's story about a cowboy troubadour by the name of Sam Galloway who reminded us that although Tommy Tucker may have sung for his supper, a true troubadour would have his supper and then sing for art's sake."
