Welche Ironie! Peter LaFarge konnte zu Recht von sich behaupten, gleichermaßen Indianer und Cowboy zu sein. Auf seinem 1964er Folkways-Album mit Cowboy Songs zelebriert er Western-Kamellen wie 'The Straberry Roan' mit unverhohlener Zuneigung und rezitiert ein Stück aus 'The Rodeo Hand', Cowboy-Lyrik der Beat-Generation. Die 13 Folkways-Aufnahmen von 1962 , die diese Zusammenstellung mit insgesamt 29 Songs abschließen, belegen den messerscharfen Blick des LaFarge auf aktuelle Dinge ('Alaska, 49th State'), auf den Drogenkonsum ('Marijuana Blues') und das Sterben seines Mentors Cisco Houston.
Product Information
One of many ironies surrounding Peter La Farge is that he could legitimately claim to be both Indian and cowboy. On his 1964 Folkways album of cowboy songs, La Farge delivers Western chestnuts like The Strawberry Roan with evident affection and recites a piece of original 'beat' cowboy verse, The Rodeo Hand. The 13 1962 Folkways recordings which flesh out this 29-track collection show La Farge's topical eye scanning discrimination (Alaska, 49th State), drug use (Marijuana Blues), and the passing of a mentor in Cisco Houston.
