Not exactly. Whether ''round the campfire or in the barroom, cowboys love a lusty chorus of the kinds of songs their mothers never taught them. Guy Logsdon painstakingly sought out, listened to, and recorded the bawdy songs of America''s real working cowboys. Honest and hilarious songs ranging from 'Little Joe, the Wrangler' to 'Boring for Oil' and 'Old Man''s Lament' reveal an affection for humor--sometimes crude, sometimes clever--as well as an affable warts-and-all view of human nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Winner of the Westerners International Co-Founders Awards of the Western History Association, 1990.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"One of the finest works to come out in recent years on cowboy songs, in addition to being the first good collection of the cowboy's bawdy material. . . .
