I'll Hold You in My Heart

Amazon.com
This is the most live-sounding Don Walser album yet, no doubt because for the first time in many years he's backed in the studio by his own Pure Texas Band (the sole exception is the title song, originally cut for the movie Hi-Lo Country). The opening "Yodeling the Blues," which features some of Don's most rambunctious yodeling--on the first try, he pushes to the outer reaches of, and almost past, his range--sets the tone, with tracks like "El Paso Cowboy" settling effortlessly into his West Texas honky-tonk swing groove. Walser mixes it up a bit with "Rock-A-Billy Rage" (more boogie than 'billy, actually) and puts a Lone Star spin on classic Bakersfield with the original "Buck and Merle" and a cover of Haggard's "Hungry Eyes." The rhythm section is solid, the soloists are short, snappy, and swinging, and if you think this stuff is "retro," you haven't spent a Saturday night in a small-town Texas dance hall. --John Morthland

We'll miss him.......2006-09-23

Don passed away earlier this month (September, '06). Makes this album and his others all the more special for Texans and non-Texans alike. Quite a man. His interview and singing on NPR prompted me to buy this and other Don Walser albums. He does Eddie Arnold almost as well or better than Eddie did himself.

Don Holds My Heart, But The CD Let Me Down.......2001-02-03

I fell in love with "I Will Hold You In My Heart" from the film THE HI-LO COUNTRY. I ran out and picked up the movie CD just for that one song! I expected the other songs of Don's CD to have the same caliber and seamlessness that "I Will Hold You In My Heart" does. Unfortunately, it doesn't. It has more of a "live" sound than a "studio" feel. I will do my best to appreciate the other tracks, for Don truly is the genuine article; he gives us his heart in his music. Don's God given talent, grace and love of the Old West, in "I Will Hold You In My Heart", is truly evident. But, I encourage Don Walser, as a new fan, to find a producer and engineer who can give him the chance to render the same effortless, lyrical and embracing music that the Martin Scorsese/Carter Burwell "studio mix" gave him in THE HI-LO COUNTRY. He deserves it and so do his fans!

The real sound of Don Walser.......2000-10-08

Except for the title track this album features Don and his band as you might hear them at any live show. The yodels are still there as well as the songwriting skills of Don and fiddler Howard Kalish. When was the last time you heard Springtime In the Rockies?

The Best.......2000-10-05

Don Walser is a unique American talent. This is a great CD.

Don is backed by a great group of musicians. Howard Kalish plays fiddle and guitar, and the steel guitar player is great. But everyone is outstanding.

Buy it!

Don Walser is a true Americana gem..........2000-10-04

With the release of I Hold You in My Heart, Don Walser continues his long tradition of recording true, American heritage music. His work is akin to barbeques, children smiling and pickin' up a handful of dirt. He music is authentic and real. Another quality record from the one of a kind, Don Walser.
