Featuring Peter Elman on piano and guitar, this collection of modern originals has the feel of the Old West. Also featuring Darol Anger, Todd Phillips, Flaco Jimenez and Tony Elman.\n\nReview\n\nIf Hill Street Blues had been a television show about the Texas Rangers, this album would have been the perfect theme music. It's an album I wanted to dislike, because it's so unlike any music I usually enjoy but I loved it. It's western music, not country. Pure instrumental Americana through and through. In fact, it's such joyful, pure music that anyone of any age could easily tap his or her toes happily to every track. Don't get me wrong--the average headbanger hooked on metal and nothing else won't get any joy from this album. But nearly everyone else will. Peter Elman's kind of stuff you could put on at a cocktail party and never interrupt the chatter while it powers the evening along, almost subliminally. Fall Is All Around, for example, is pure piano imagery, painted on a gentle, rolling backdrop of quiet instrumental beauty. The title track sounds like something you might hear coming from the doors of a small desert town saloon in the old west, but it's also catchy and listenable for any occasion. Turqoise Eyes starts with a mellow, lilting melody that builds into a modern easy-listening classic. Ginny's Bayou,The Last Cowboy and Magic Girl are also all top-notch stuff, but my personal favorites are Mountain Dunes and Our Dance. The former is built upon a easy-going cowboy rhythm that slides, almost unnoticed, into a a tune of expansive, far-reaching beauty. The latter is melancholy and memorable, with a haunting, simple melody that will stay with you for life. --Alan Bechtold, Digital Online Review\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000001I44\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000001I44.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Peter Elman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
