Description
I am Ben from Stockholm, Sweden and they call be the Swedish Cowboy. Musically I am the coolest person on the planet. I especially love two forms of music...hardcore (the hardest) honky tonk country and wild surf style guitar. A strange mix you might say and possibly true but here you will find the best of both worlds.I also love blues, rockabilly, old timey and anything else only the coolest have but you would probably expect this! THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION I am selling. Everything is in great condition. I bought most new and would always make a copy to play so most would only have been actually played one or two times. Whenever I played my albums I would wear white cotton gloves. I am selling as my Japanese ice skating champion wife has convinced me it is time to share my music and closing my herring pickling business in Sweden also frees me up to do this. Anyone who buys one of my records is truly blessed.I have lived in Australia just on 30 years and you can really call me The Aussie Swedish Cowboy if you wish as that is what I am. I love everything about my new home. I am pleased to be able to offer my collection. I have a lot and the likes of it will never appear again on any sale platform. My friend Steve (ebay seller steveswr53) is handling my listings for me. Remember though I am the one and only Swedish Cowboy.

AMG Butch Hancock's discography is somewhat difficult to piece together. Many of his albums originally appeared on the small Rainlight label, and while a number of these albums have been reissued on CD, some have not. Firewater is Hancock's fourth album, a thrown-together live set recorded at the Alamo Lounge in Austin in 1980 (and released the following year). Although recorded live, only "The Wind's Dominion" had shown up on his earlier solo albums. "If You Were a Bluebird" would become a Hancock standard, but the standout tune here is the title track. The unpolished band chugs along on all cylinders for "Firewater" while Hancock sings, "You got drunk last nite/You swear you saw the devil/Don't you know firewater seeks its own level?" There's a good version of A.P. Carter's "No Hidin' Place," and Jimmie Dale Gilmore sings a verse or two on "I Keep Wishing for You" and "If You Were a Bluebird." There are other good songs on Firewater -- "Like the Light at Dawn" and "One More Road" -- and they're filled with Hancock's usual clever wordplay and off-the-cuff delivery. The problem, however, is that it all sounds like it was recorded in a barn and just for the fun of it. For those accustomed to Hancock's loose performing style, though, the album will be worth picking up if for no other reason than the title track.
