Vi sono artisti che con la loro musica e con la loro poesia riescono a
toccare il cuore di chi li ascolta. Baxter Black è sicuramente uno di
questi. Le sue canzoni, incise da personaggi del calibro di The Sons Of The
San Joaquin o Red Steagall, raccontano il mondo visto attraverso gli occhi e
l'anima dei cowboys. Jim Schafer, amico di Baxter da lunga data, ha voluto
rendere omaggio a questo poeta delle grandi praterie incidendo un album che
raccoglie 13 piccoli gioielli. Il cd si intitola Baxter's Songs ed è davvero
emozionante. Ogni singola canzone meriterebbe una recensione a parte, ma per
motivi di spazio, mi limito a ricordare Running Out Of Sunsets ( registrata
da Red Steagall), Rose Of Coahuilla, Chasin' The Moon By The Tail, Colorado
Cowboy e la bellissima Some Men Are Eagles portata a suo tempo al successo
da Duke Davis. Suonato e cantato in maniera perfetta Baxter's Songs è il
classico cd da comprare subito. Per info/copies contattare Jim Schafer 800
Helena Court, Fort Collins, Colorado, 80524 Usa.

That's alla folks.
It was a very quick translation, so if you have some amendment on the
stylish side, please fell free to tell me.
Let me know...

Baxter Black is a cowboy poet, philosopher and former large animal
veterinarian.
So they say on the American National Public Radio network anyway, where he
is regularly heard (he's very funny in a cowboy way.)
Sons of the San Joaquin are a singing group (well I never heard them but..)
There is a valley called the San Joaquin, I think in Colorado.  Guess they
all sprouted there.

as far as you know... is this kind of music related somehow with bluegrass?
(I'm asking 'cause I just saw Oh Brother where art thou?...)

 Iso
If it's the kind of music I suspect, similar to what you'd hear on Riders
Radio Theater,
then it's not closely related to bluegrass.  I'm not that familiar with either
genre, but to
describe them in broad terms, I'd say bluegrass is identified more by highly
technical
picking patterns and the lyrical themes are centered around the Blue Ridge and
Appalachian mountains.  The other, more 'cowboy' music, uses simpler strumming
techniques and the themes of the songs are more concerned with riding the
western
prairies and deserts.  The harmonic treatment for the singers voices are
identical to
my ears.
