Are cowboys looking forward to the holidays?
“Cowboy Christmas Eve” by Bri Bagwell & Kip Calahan Young has all the pickin’ and fiddlin’ them boys need to work up the nerve to sashay up to the barn dance. Them ladies are a-waitin’. R.W. Hampton plays this as a duet.
Bobby Boyles downplays this idea as a meditation of the silence of the season. “Cowboy Christmas Eve” here is somber and religious. The wide open spaces’ll do that to you. Bary Ward takes this out of the front room into the studio.
