They find some fearsome friends along the way, a family of longhorn - herding T. rexes
whose gravelly voiced patriarch (Sam Elliott) has some shrewd advice for Arlo: «You can't get rid of fear but you can get through it.»
This engaging CD pays tribute to twentieth - century blues and ragtime music through 17 tunes performed by Randy Kaplan,
whose bantering between songs with
gravelly -
voiced «Delta denizen» Lightnin» Bodkins is wryly humorous and invigorating.
