Waddie Mitchell
Cowboy Poetry & Humor

Waddie’s got an exceptional new recording of poems here. As usual, it is a selection of well-rhymed, well-delivered verse, much of which is loaded with cowboy humor and much of it very serious and important material. But this time, Waddie has added a new twist, as he put it "[marrying the poetry] with [accompanying] music written for the poetry or, in a few cases, scored ... as one would a film."
Behind Waddie’s excellent recitations are the haunting tunes of Dana Walden, and the beautiful voices of Jack, Joe, and Lon Hannah (Sons of the San Jaoquin), and Don Edwards. There is also a lot of musical support from Tommy Morrell, Rich O’Brien, and other talented musicians.
Of special consideration are "Orejana," "Dad," and "Who But The Horse," all perceptive and poignant. Included, also, is "No Quit Attitude," a poem Waddie composed for the 2002 Winter Olympics.
This is right up there with the best collections Waddie has ever recorded. Cowboy poetry may never have been done better. We predict other talented and perceptive cowboy poets will follow Waddie’s lead and start producing their albums in this enlightened way.
