Cowboy Songs III
Rhymes of the Renegades
Released 1993
Label: Warner Brothers Records, Inc.
From our Purveyor of Music:
My first copy of this title was a cassette tape. Remember those? I listened to it so much that it plumb wore out! Michael Martin Murphey sings the stories of the West's infamous characters. Billy the Kid, Cole Younger, Jesse and Frank James, Belle Star, and Sam Bass come alive here. Three of my favorites are the duet with Marty Robbins, "Big Iron," the title track "Rhymes of the Renegades," and "The Wild West is Gonna Get Wilder."
Don your black hat when you listen to these catchy tunes. You'll find yourself singing along with Chris LeDoux, Hal Ketchum, Bill Miller, and Michael's son Ryan.
