Cowboy Envy is at it again, riding the musical range and tipping their 24-gallon hats to the cowboy icons of old. Berne Poliakoff, DeDe Vogt, and Kathleen Hatfield -- known, respectively, as Frenchy, Too Short, and Buffalo K -- are Cowboy Envy, and lest you think it's all in good fun, it is. But these gals can sing (even yodel), and their original compositions sidle right up next to traditional tunes like good cowhands should. The lovely melody of "Sunrise on the Plains" was penned by Buffalo K but could just as well have come from Gene Autry. Their love and reverence for this genre is unmistakable, as evidenced in the spot-on harmonies of the classic "Red River Valley," but never fear, their humor comes sneaking through on songs like "Prairie Rose" and "Round up Time," and Frenchy's "I Left His Heart (In San Francisco)" is self-proclaimed as "the only known cowboy tribute to Tony Bennett." Fair enough. Sometimes you can judge a CD by its cover. In the case of Wagons Ho!, what you see is exactly what you get. Not many folks these days sing of coyotes, plains, wagons, and sage. Maybe they should. Harking back to the simplicity and innocence of a time long lost, this record is a rare delight. ~ Kelly McCartney, All Music Guide
