Chickens. CD. 40:59 min. Prairie Dog Entertainment. 2007. #
PreS-Gr 5–Buck Howdy, a cowboy farmer who has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and the White House, adds another terrific album to his award-winning discography (Skidaddle! and Giddyup), this time accompanied by BB, a vocalist and actress who has been a part of Howdy’s shows and recordings for a few years. Blending Western swing, big band sounds, and cowboy jazz, Howdy presents both his own compositions (“Wiggle, Waggle, Wave,” “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda,” “Chickens,” “Can’t Imagine,” “Friends,” and more) and covers for some well-known tunes (“Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens,” “You Are My Sunshine,” “Yakety Yak,” and others). The vocals (with some great harmonizing) and instrumentals are fantastic. A wonderful album for all ages.
