Published by Hal Leonard,I couldn't help but want to let you all know what a great songbook this is! It's the only book I know to feature "I'm An Old Cowhand",which always brings back fond childhood memories of my mom singing this around the house when I was a very young girl.
The book has 50 cowboy songs,which should be more than enough for any get together you may have,and for those in middle age,the print is a very comfortable size for those who have problems reading tiny music print. Most are traditional tunes,featuring a lot of songs written in the 30's-40's.
Uke chord diagrams are given,one of the only drawbacks to the book is it lacks tab for melody. If you read music for ukulele,this will not be a problem,as the standard notation is a very comfortable reading size.
Full lyrics are given,for those of you who love to strum and sing. This is a wonderful book for being around the campfire,near the fireplace,or outside on a beautiful starry night.
Only suggestions I would have for any revision done for this book would be to have lead ins and perhaps some "bass runs" to make playing the tunes even more interesting. (aside from having the melody in TAB).
If you're into cowboy music,this is a very worthwhile songbook to have,and I'd heartily suggest it for your collection!
