About the Album

Cowboys & Frenchmen’s new release Rodeo takes the listener on a joy ride! The music is simultaneously playful, soulful, beautiful, cinematic, searching....often touched with a sense of “Americana”. The compositions are uniquely personal. [Their] arrangement of “Man of Constant Sorrow” is particularly noteworthy. “Rodeo” will lasso you and reel you in!
- Jay Anderson (bassist)
Man of Constant Sorrow” - 2015 Downbeat Student Award, best Master’s arrangement

**Please note there is a duplication error that is supposed to be fixed by Grace Note in the coming days; Track 4: Man of Constant Sorrow (9:24) is actually Because (3.03) and then track 5 is Man of Constant Sorrow. Otherwise, all is correct. We cannot force a fix on this - it is Grace Note that is in control of the fix – we hope this does not cause confusion and we thank you in advance for your understanding.
