Our Take

CISCO HOUSTON Collection 1944-61 brings a much-needed blast from the past, serving up a delightful blend of folk, blues, and country that will transport you straight to a simpler time.

From the moment Cisco's emotive voice hits your ears on tracks like "Midnight Special" and "900 Miles," you'll find yourself on a nostalgic journey to a bygone era. Houston's stripped-back style and raw, authentic vocals will have you feeling like you're sitting around a campfire with a group of old friends, swapping stories and sharing songs.

This collection showcases Houston's versatility as a musician, with tracks ranging from lively, foot-stomping tunes like "Old Blue" to more introspective ballads like "Streets of Laredo." Whether you're looking to get your toes tapping or your heartstrings tugged, Cisco Houston delivers in spades.

While some may argue that the production quality on some of the earlier recordings leaves something to be desired, true fans of folk music will appreciate the raw, unpolished nature of these tracks. It's like listening to a time capsule of authentic American music, with Cisco as your trusty guide.

So, grab your favourite pair of vintage jeans, pour yourself a glass of moonshine, and let Cisco Houston's Collection 1944-61 take you on a musical journey through the heart of Americana. It's a ride you won't want to miss.
