Description
I am Ben from Stockholm, Sweden and they call be the Swedish Cowboy. Musically I am the coolest person on the planet. I especially love two forms of music...hardcore (the hardest) honky tonk country and wild surf style guitar. A strange mix you might say and possibly true but here you will find the best of both worlds.I also love blues, rockabilly, old timey and anything else only the coolest have but you would probably expect this! THIS IS MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION I am selling. Everything is in great condition. I bought most new and would always make a copy to play so most would only have been actually played one or two times. Whenever I played my albums I would wear white cotton gloves. I am selling as my Japanese ice skating champion wife has convinced me it is time to share my music and closing my herring pickling business in Sweden also frees me up to do this. Anyone who buys one of my records is truly blessed.I have lived in Australia just on 30 years and you can really call me The Aussie Swedish Cowboy if you wish as that is what I am. I love everything about my new home. I am pleased to be able to offer my collection. I have a lot and the likes of it will never appear again on any sale platform. My friend Steve (ebay seller steveswr53) is handling my listings for me. Remember though I am the one and only Swedish Cowboy.

AMG After recording the spare masterwork West Texas Waltzes and Dust-Blown Tractor Tunes in 1978 and the eclectic double-LP The Wind's Dominion in 1979, Butch Hancock opted for a full-band outing on Diamond Hill in 1980. Several of these songs -- "Diamond Hill," "Neon Wind," "Ghost of Give and Take Avenue," and "Corona del Mar" -- were issued on Sugar Hill collections in the '80 and '90s, but the album (available on CD in 1998) is well worth hearing in its entirety. It is much more uniform than The Wind's Dominion, and the instrumental muscle adds a new dimension to Hancock's word-heavy songs. One might describe the mixture of pedal steel, acoustic guitar, piano, and occasional saxophone as country-folk. Even with a band, however, Hancock, with his croaky vocals and rich wordplay, is always front and center. The Tex-Mex-flavored "Corona del Mar" begins with the lovely lines, "Golden sunlight...please save us from our dreams/They're not all that bad...but they're sure not what they seem." To anyone familiar with Hancock, no one else could've written the line; to everyone else, the curious phrasing is immediately distinctive. Hancock has too often been compared to Bob Dylan, but the association makes sense if one states that Hancock, as original and idiosyncratic as any singer/songwriter, is one of the rare musical visionaries worth mentioning in the same sentence with Dylan. Diamond Hill is a satisfying effort from one of the best songwriters to ever come out of Texas
