Moe Bandy - Cowboys Ain't Supposed To Cry
In this episode, we're featuring a Moe Bandy album from the height of his solo success: "Cowboys Ain't Supposed To Cry" (1978). Before his duets with Janie Fricke and later Joe Stampley, Moe Bandy was doing what he does best - making hardcore traditional country music. This collection of songs shows Moe's influences in very plain fashion: channeling Hank Williams, Sr. in Weldon Myrick's steel licks and even covering two of Hank's hits - this is a country album, sure enough. Songs like "Cowboys Ain't Supposed To Cry" (Moe would know, he's in the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall Of Fame), "Up To Now I've Wanted Everything But You" and "All I Can Handle At Home" keep the toes tapping and the twang a-flowing.
