Album Notes
This CD, Picasso, is a breakout for me, Steve Jones. After 17 years and several CD recordings with the Yampa Valley Boys, I am now a solo artist. This album is a good cross section of my music. There are some originals–“Picasso” (a co-write with award winning poet Les Buffham), “Six Gun For Hire”, “Slavonia Mine” and “Safe Home (Slan Abhaille)”; some cover songs by well known and lesser known artists–“Old Double Diamond”, “Broken White Line”,”Irish Pub Song”, “Cowboy’s Hard Times”, “Irish Cowboy’s Lament”, “Stupid Dog”, They Call the Wind Mariah”; and public domain songs–“Eileen Aroon”, “The Parting Glass”. There are some cowboy/western songs, folk songs, originals and Irish songs, with some humor (see Six Gun For Hire).
Some have dubbed me “the cowboy Irish tenor” and whether that is accurate or not, I like to do Irish songs. Many have some link to the American west, but some are just good old Irish songs.
So, enjoy the music.
