Cowboy Songs

Ed McCurdy’s Cowboy Songs on Tradition Records captures folk balladry rooted in American frontier mythology, with McCurdy’s warm baritone anchoring narratives of outlaws, cattle drives, and dusty trails. Tradition Records' deep catalog of traditional and revivalist folk makes this a natural fit—McCurdy treats these songs as living history rather than museum pieces, letting period instrumentation and storytelling clarity take precedence over arrangement flourish.
