Corridos: Story Songs Of The West (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)
A top-notch release for fans of western music!
Review written by Chuckaroo The Buckaroo from Bend, Oregon USA, February 14th, 2012

As the host of Calling All Cowboys Radio in Bend, Oregon, (www.kpov.org) I get a LOT of CDs for airplay consideration. Some are worthy. Some are not. And some stand out so far from the crowd that they deserve special recognition. "Corridos: Story Songs Of The West" is one of those releases. I was hooked from the first few bars of "Blue Mesa" I realized right away that I was listening to an exceptionally talented songwriter and performer who was backed by an above average band. Luke Reed has written an immensely entertaining body of work with this release that reflects thoughtful, intelligent lyrics and catchy melodies delivered by a solid set of pipes. It has become one of my favorite CDs after just one listen. This from a field of 20,000 western/cowboy tracks in my collection. If you are a fan of western music and "Corridos: Story Songs Of The West" is not in your collection by all means add it. You will not be disappointed! What I cannot figure out is how Luke Reed flew under my radar for so long.
