Here comes a genuine excellent songster in the path of Arvella Gray and Leadbelly, who spent most of his life playing on the streets and unfortunately did not receive the recognition he really deserved Cowboy Roy was born in 1875 in some remote place in Arkansas or Missouri Nobody knows if these recordings were done at the end of the fifties or in 1960 Roy Brown worked and travelled all the time from Kansas City to Marian, Illinois or from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to South Dakota and he even took his songs, his guitar called ‘Baby’ and his kazoo ‘Leon’ to Saint Louis A fascinating historical album, not only for its documentary value but also for the wide varied repertoire you will find on it, such as Gene Autry’s cowboy songs, low-down blues or even some polkas Twenty three pleasant great songs performed by a fascinating musician
