Review:  Giving Back (Cowboy Musicians & Poets Offer Up Their Best…)

A while back Montana Cowboy entertainer, horse trainer and poet T.J. Casey and wife Marcie had the great idea to start helping “farmers and ranchers affected by the ravages of nature.”  The Giving Back Foundation is the result and this fundraising double CD set pulls together twenty-five performances from artists contributing to the effort.

When they say “offer up their best” they mean it!  It’s fair to say Giving Back can be considered one of the better compilations issued in the past two decades.  Eli Barsi & Doris Daley open it with their fine “Just Call Him Cowboy.”  Here, too, are R.W. Hampton (“Born To Be A Cowboy”), Open Range (“Blue & Lonesome”), Ken Overcast (“Cold, Broke & Hungry”) plus great ones from Sisters Of The Silver Sage, R.J. Vandygriff, Donnie Blanz, Dan Miller and a slew of others.  Some stylistically ride the rim, like Kail Mantle’s feisty “No Mares,” Ringling 5’s near singalong-styled “Fencin’ Blues” and one of the more original Western performer-writers around Jim Reader (“The Ranchin’ Life’s OK”).  Joining in also are some top poets and reciters including the unsurpassed Jay Snider and others!

From both the content of this double CD set and the mission of the Giving Back Foundation, here’s an answer twice-over to the question “What is Western!”  Pick this one up!  Donations to the Giving Back Foundation and CD purchases ($24.95) are accepted by the Montana Stock Growers Association (MSGA), 420 N. California St., Helena, MT  59601.  (406) 442-3420
