 to the mix. Picks from the McCorison solo writes are the title track tribute “Me And Les” and “Dust Of Los Angeles” for its interesting juxtapositions. Pick co-writes are the three McCorison/Buffham songs “Welcome To Wickenburg,” “Wyoming Dreaming” and “Riding Out To Meet The Day.” As picks among the covers, we’ll name most of them! A swinging, adroitly arranged take of Frank Loesser’s “Jingle Jangle Jingle,” Joyce Woodson’s modern standard “If I Hadn’t Seen The West,” Jack Murphey’s “Lights Of Cheyenne,” Lisa Aschmann & Tim Bays’ fun swinger “Long Arms Of Love” and Brian Sutton’s non-Western but memorably instructive song “The More I Learn.” Simply stated, Dan McCorison & friends have delivered a little gem with this one. Thirteen tracks, very highly recommended.CD: (avalable through danmccorison.com)- by Rick Huff){kind=link}
Dan McCorison
Me And Les
Considering that this release contains three co-writes with the inimitable Les Buffham and another song dedicated to friendship with him, obviously Arizona singer-songwriter Dan McCorison feels ‘Les is more.’ That, of course, is a simple fact of nature!
McCorison’s primarily acoustic accompaniment is tastefully executed by five musicians who contribute twelve instruments (counting Dan’s own guitar) to the mix.
