Daron Little ~ Ranch Cowboy Music
Once in a great while, a songwriter/singer comes along in the Western music
realm who gets it. And while I am not in the least saying that the definition of
Western Music should necessarily be “Ranch Owners and Employees Music” I’m
repeating my stand that says “Write what you know, and write it with honesty,
integrity, and reality.”
Daron Little has done just that. The honesty, integrity and reality of this new
offering, “Ranch Cowboy Music” cuts through the outer layers of his ranch
experiences, right into the gristle and bone of the humanity of ranching life. This is
an earthy, organic, and sometimes tender gathering of the observances of a man
who dares to turn the pages where the past glues itself stubbornly to the present,
and the future could well be uncertain.
“Feelin’ Free” brings to mind the stark, yet gentler writings of Bob Dylan, Corb
Lund, Mike Beck, Kevin Welch or Dave Stamey, and “Baby Calves” blows the
cover right off the bravado of the make-believe cowboy, telling the reality of the
guy who works a cow-calf operation. “Cattle Call-Same Old Game” nods to the
progress necessary to keep ranching going. And “Sweetwater” flows from Daron’s
pen to the vocal sparsity of his arrangement like a flood of unspoken pain and
memories: dreamlike in it’s imagery.
The rhythms and fresh acoustic, slide, and electric guitar rifts surround the
lyrics in a loose, easy going style that feels like an intimate song circle with a
friend, so welcoming, and more like a live performance than a slick production
album. I predict that this CD could be the one that launches Daron Little into the
ranks of the coolest, best loved contemporary Western songwriters.

Your voice is so refreshing in the Western genre; it''s gritty and fits this style of music well. Your lyrics were well-written, and the instrumentals were contemporary and upbeat. The Western genre needs a fresh, modern sound, and you are among the musicians who are the future. I could see the younger crowd enjoying this. Great job.

I have to say this whole CD is a delight. There were no songs I didn''t like. Great back up. Great delivery and content and the best part, you write about what you know. And there are few out there who can, most only think they know what cowboys think about or do. You, my friend, are the real deal and it shows in the lyrics. And you have a great voice and delivery. And you sure got some chops on the riffs and licks with the guitar! All different kinds of styles in here. Fast slow, bluesy, you name it. Anyone who likes any kind of music from Rock to classic would find something in here to like, I think. This CD is top notch, top of the shelf and you don''t have to take a back seat to anyone, and I do mean anyone. This is as good as it gets and better than most. An honest look at who and what cowboys and ranchers do and feel and see. I don''t know what you were aiming for, but you hit the target dead center as far as I am concerned! Many of the so called "big names" only wish they could write and deliver half as good as this.I am proud to know you and dang proud of you for saying and singing what so many of us feel. And doing it in such a great way!
