Steve Jones and John Fisher cover a lot of ground on their seventh album – from traditional Cowboy to Western Swing, with a dab of cowboy poetry for good measure. It’s far from being a mishmash, however, thanks to expert musicianship.

     Once again the Yampa Valley Boys ride in with a rustic, folksy winner! Warm as a wood fire, the CD starts off with Sandra Reay's WMA nominated Song Of The Year "Already Gone" (also present is her creation "One Lonely Rider"). For the title track the Yampa's Steve Jones has given Bruce Kiskaddon's poem "Second Guard" an appropriate musical setting.
     Other Jones originals on the CD "Colors Of The Fall" and "Callin Of The Pipes" should find favor with their fans. He and partner John Fisher are joined by Leon Littlebird on his "House Of Light," inspired by a Navajo poem. This particular track marks an interesting stylistic departure for the Yampas, who say they feel this disc represents some of their best work to date. I concur! Thirteen tracks total. CD: $20ppd from Yampa Valley Boys, PO Box 773611, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.

The Yampa Valley Boys have done it again with a round-up of songs you might hear around the cow camp. Steve and John have obliged their fans by recording some of our favorites that they sing. The title track, Second Guard by Bruce Kiskaddon sets the feel of the whole CD. They've thrown in some old standards as well beloved by all like San Antonio Rose and Sierry Petes. I especially love the sounds of the banjo but they surprised me by including my other favorite, the highland pipes! You'll find more surprises in this collection sure to please any lover of the West. — Rex Rideout
