Dom Flemons provides an essential component to the canon of music of America’s Old West. Through seldom-recorded as well as original compositions — accompanied by excellent liner notes —, Black Cowboys places the important contributions and participation of African-American, Native American, and Mexican men and women into rightful historical context. Outstanding recording. —-Stephanie P. Ledgin Author, Discovering Folk Music
