AUTHENTIC OUTLAW BALLADS:(Vocal), like the outlaws themselves outlaw ballads pack a pretty fair punch and lyrics and music they tell the unvarnished tales of daring and often tragic lives.Those who compose the ballads were far from impartial in wielding their pens many had a score to settle or wrong to right or a moral to deliver.

FRONT PORCH CLASSICS (instrumental) Just like the neighbors who drop by to enjoy the music and fellowship on the front porch, the music itself had a restless spirit and was soon on the move.

COWBOY SONGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER (vocals) Cowboys sang, they sang of long days and short nights, they sang of wild broncs, whiskey, and pals gone.

SOUTHERN MOUNTAIN CLASSICS:(Instrumentals). seven mountain classics are tunes that are not likely to go out of style.
