Mini-Review: A Tribute to Wesley Tuttle
|
We were getting ready to drive to work this morning when we decided to pull out a CD we had gotten a long while back. If you're looking for a sound that kindles the memories of the early hillbilly and western music era - this tribute album will have you kicking back nice and easy. We talked to Buffalo Rick a year or so ago - he told us they tried to stay true to the original arrangements that Wesley Tuttle had done on his Capitol recordings. The efforts paid off in a well-done tribute. We even get to hear Wesley do a verse on his hit, "Detour". Amy Jo Richards is given credit for the female harmony on the Jenny Lou Carson classic, "I'd Trade All of My Tomorrows". Wesley's wife Marilyn is listed as doing vocals in the liner notes, but they didn't identify which song she was on; part of me say it was this tune. You'll hear some of those classic western harmonies that conjur up thoughts of the Sons of the Pioneers and the old west - "Strawberry Roan" or even "Vaya Con Dios". How about a bit of yodeling? "Yodelin' Boogie" will get you tapping your fingers in time. I almost wish my drive to work was a bit longer to listen to the album again. Get the CD BRWW, Inc.; Cave Creek, AZ (web site not known) |
