Lyrics to listeners are often pages from the daily journaling of the songwriter. That is how Dallas Burrow collected the words sharing their cowboy stories in his recent release, The Way the West Was Won. He deals the deck with Ray Wylie Hubbard as the fellow Texas musician joins Dallas Burrow for “Read ‘Em and Weep” while he shares driving and harmony with Kelly Willis on “Colorado Bound”. Mariachi horns herald the story of “Tornado” as a gentle desert breeze strums a melody for “Streets of Dodge” while a horse-hoof beat carries the dark tale in “Black Rock Desert Blues” and Dallas Burrow barrels into the end of a hard week with a song for “The High Low”.
Produced by music legend Lloyd Maines, The Way the West Was Won sings the song that answer the album title statement with tales that mirror life in the Southwest desert. With words and music as comfortable beside campfires as on stage, Dallas Burrow presents a contemporary Wild West Show on the album. The heroes and outlaws blend into one character as they walk through “Justice in the West” while Dallas Burrow makes plan to head ‘all around this world’ in “Disappearing Ink”, appreciating what surrounds him at home with “Livin’ for Today”. The Way the West Was Won title track welcomes in Jim Lauderdale as a revolving rhythm keeps the beat strong for “When the Cowboy Rides” as Dallas Burrow exits the album whispering “A Cowboy’s Prayer”.
