this Johnny Cash song has been covered by a lot of folks including Flatt &amp; Scruggs..I used to do it a lot at dance gigs because it makes a pretty good 2-step dance song...

Tennessee Waltz

This is the first song that I wrote in country style for banjo. At first it was written in Russian language by myself. And now I'm happy that I can sing it in English too! This English version of lyrics for this song was written for me by my Banjo Hangout friend - Mike Gregory! I want to thank him very much for his great work about my Russian lyrics to translate it in English! So his name will appear on my future banjo CD where I add this song if you'll appreciate my performance of it. It is so great to creating real song together with my friend from another side of the Earth! All banjo parts by me; guitar, arrangement, record and mixing were done by Alexander Kartoyev who made my previous records too. Hope to see your comments here (especially about what you imagine while listening this song). It is very important and interesting for me :)

15 - Don't Forget Me, Baby

An old tune I fooled with playing dances in the 70's

This was recorded at Black Creek in 2008 with some friends.

With everyone's thoughts on the political season, I thought I would throw my hat in the ring..."The Ring Of Fire," that is.  Again, my favorite bass player (my wife Lynn) accompanies me while I pick the banjo and guitar.

Ring Of Fire-Bill Breen

This is my version of the Buck Owens' popular instrumental, "Buckaroo."  I put this arrangement together in response to a request from my Banjo Hangout Buddy, "Lumpy."  My favorite bass player, my wife Lynn, is on bass and I'm on banjo and guitar.  I hope you enjoy it, Lumpy!

Buckaroo - Bill Breen

This arrangement is the result of a request from my BHO buddy, "Branding," who asked me to record Tennesee Stud.  My wife, Lynn, is on bass and I'm on banjo and guitar.  I hope you like it, Branding!

copyright 2007 Hal Rowberry. All rights reserved.I played banjo on this session job, and really like the tune. Lots of fun to listen to!My part was mostly rhythm, but I got a few licks in, here and there. You can hear the banjo mostly on the right side of the mix.At the end of the song, there's a reference to: "dancin' to Pinto, at the Saddle Sore Saloon' The Saddle Sore is a famous honky-tonk  just over the hill from Jackson Hole, on the Idaho side, in a tiny town called Swan Valley. All the rich folks and movied stars who live in Jackson hit the Saddle Soar, where nobody pays any attention to them. Pinto Bennet, The King of Elmore County, played there often, with his band, The Motel Cowboys. He's the best Country singer/songwriter I know.Pinto became a pretty big deal in the British Isles... I heard he was well known over there.
