Review by Rick Huff: Over the years quite a bit of Richard Elloyan’s material has been inspired by, honors aspects of, tells stories about and reflects memories from his home state of Nevada. This newest CD is no different, but as all of his recorded offerings prove, there is a difference. Here as always Elloyan gives you more. In his case it’s often a case of the more you listen the more you hear, the more you hear the more you “get” and the more you get the more you want! The title track refers to cowboying-up in the face of life’s travails and has a mythic Big West feel (“I won’t complain while I remain on this side of the dirt!”). There’s “Our Town,” written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Jurbridge, Nevada. There’s “Folded Down Pages,” a neat concept song about passing along the value of the works of great Western novelists (“I saddle up once again and ride the trail between the folded down pages”). On the jaunty “Riding With My Shadow” Liz Masterson and Ken Graydon (Howdy, sir! Good to hear you again!) join on great harmony. Twelve tracks total. There’s much to recommend in this collection, produced by Elloyan’s longtime collaborator Steven Swinford. For my money Richard Elloyan is one of the best yet most under-promoted artists working in our genre. How ‘bout making this CD the one where everybody catches on?
