Description:
Whether it is a belief that life was simpler, better, or just musically more interesting in the first half of the 20th century, the Curio Cowboys are determined to take the listener back to the country-jazz that blasted out of AM radios across the open expanse of a more innocent America. Johnny `Speedbump` Feldman leads his fellow travelers through a dozen tracks that touch on waltz, polka, country, and jazz. Fans of Bob Wills, Milton Brown and their musical contemporaries will find terrific enjoyment in this Western Swing time warp. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Ruido Records)
