Western Music & Cowboy Songs

Any Person who can use the word "epiglottis" in a song, and make it the only logical word that will fit in a very singable song has to be an exceptional talent. Stephanie Davis has that level of ability. She is a fantastic song writer who has managed to escape the stifling confines of the Nashville Song Factory and is now soaring free, writing light, catchy, tuneful songs that express her own bright personality and joy for living.
Stephanie seems to have done things in twos on this album. It includes two danceable swing tunes, "Somethin’ ‘Bout Montana" and "Yodel Blues," this later is the one that "epiglottis" appears on and on which guest performer ‘Ranger’ Doug Green, of Riders in the Sky fame, does the quality yodeling.
There are two change-of-seasons songs, "Crocus in the Snow," a melancholy song about a woman and son starting a new life, and "Turning to the Light," a southern spiritual style song about changing one’s life in the spring.
And there are two clever and funny poems, "Talkin’ Harvest Time Blues," about planting one’s own garden, and "The Spotted Ass," about a misunderstanding based on cultural differences. Hilarious both.
"Just a Cup of Coffee" is a perceptive song about a woman trying to talk herself out of seeing an old boyfriend. "Some Things Cost Too Much" is Stephanie’s sweet autobiographical song about the costs of being a Music City songwriter. There is also a delightful singing duel, "You Been a Friend to Me," sung with Asleep At The Wheel’s Ray Benson. And the album ends with "Good Night Little Cowpup," a lovely, tender and sweet tribute to a ranch puppy.
Buy this one for sure. You’ll have no regrets.
