Review by Charles Ezeh

Songs of the Mormons Songs of the West is an impressive album that features a collection of traditional folk songs from the American West, performed by various artists. The album showcases the rich musical heritage of the region, with songs that embody the spirit of the pioneers who settled there.

The album opens with "Come, Come, Ye Saints," a hymn that was written by William Clayton in 1846 while crossing the plains to Utah. The rendition on this album is beautiful and moving, with powerful vocals and stirring harmonies. Other standout tracks include "The Streets of Laredo" and "Red River Valley," which are both iconic cowboy ballads that have been passed down through generations.

The album also features lesser-known gems, such as "The Old Chisholm Trail" and "Git Along Little Dogies," which capture the spirit of the cowboy lifestyle. The performances are authentic and heartfelt, making it easy to imagine sitting around a campfire with these musicians, singing along to these timeless tunes.
