EDDIE RUSSELL, Cowboyens Sang, 1947
Posted: February 25, 2011 Filed under: 40s, Cowboy Records, Denmark, World | Tags: Cowboy, Denmark, Western Swing 2 CommentsFor some reason the trift store, where I bought most of the 78rpm records, also had a lot of Danish records. Out of curiosity I bought a bunch of them, but most of them turned out to be pretty boring.
Not this one. Although sung in Danish, and nowhere as fast as the original “Blazin´The Trail To My Home” written by Teddy Powell and recorded in 1945 by Gene Autry, Eddie Russell´s version is a pretty close approximation of American western swing music. Or at least much closer than every German Cowboy song I have ever heard.
Now if I only found a cheap way of getting rid of the awful clicks and hisses. This record cost 50 cents.

DRAGO PETAN, Joe und Rosemarie, 1964
Posted: April 16, 2010 Filed under: 60s, Berlin Records, Cowboy Records Leave a commentI have no information about Drago Petan but the name sounds like it could be Slovenian. Recorded for the small local Berlin independent label Metropol that still exists today. Joe und Rosemarie is a typical German cowboy song. Written by Fred Oldörp of The 3 Travellers. The flip is about homesickness and sounds a little more authentic than those Freddy tear-jerkers.
I bought this last week in a thrift store and frankly only for the sleeve. I´m still searching for the slop records that are listed on the back. Akki Hamann´s Slop in Bahia/ Hallo Mr. Lover sounds kinda cool…

DIE COWBOY TWISTERS, Cowboy-Twist, 1961
Posted: March 18, 2009 Filed under: 60s, Cowboy Records, Twist Records | Tags: Chubby Checker, The Hucklebuck 1 CommentThroughout the 50s and into the 60s the German love for the American Western movie was equal to that of the German Heimatfilm. Both had similar “rural settings, sentimental tone and simplistic morality”. Both were geared towards kids and old people. In Germany the language in the Western and Heimat movies and songs was the same. So strangely a lot of expressions and phrases about home and country that were leftover from the Hitler dictatorship showed up in the Western genre. Germany is a creepy place…
Of the hundreds of German cowboy songs that were recorded in the late 50s to early 60s these are not the most famous ones. I just picked some of the more up-beat ones from my collection. This is a German version of Chubby Checker´s The Hucklebuck that is totally saved by the fact that it was made for twistin´ teenagers…
DIE COWBOY TWISTERS, Cowboy-Twist, 1961

DIE HIT-TWISTERS, Dufte ist der Cowboy-Twist in Mexico, 1961
Posted: March 18, 2009 Filed under: 60s, Cowboy Records, Twist Records | Tags: Neckermann Leave a commentAnother Cowboy-Twist song on the Neckermann budget label. Neckermann was a chain store company that also produced records that were sold in their stores.

FERDY, Ringo, 1965
Posted: March 18, 2009 Filed under: 60s, Cowboy Records | Tags: Bonanza, Lorne Greene 2 CommentsThe German version of Lorne Greene`s hit song, sung (or rather spoken) in the same manner as the original.
The German lyrics mostly tell the same tale: Sheriff saves Ringo`s life, Sheriff hunts Ringo, Sheriff and Ringo have a gunfight. But wherein the original version Ringo gets killed by the town folk and then because of that, the Sheriff hangs up his star at Ringo`s grave, in the German version the Sheriff shoots Ringo and then gives up his star in respect for Ringo. Go figure…
DIE BLAUEN REITER, Steh`auf hohem Berge, 1961
Posted: March 18, 2009 Filed under: 60s, Cowboy Records Leave a commentIn Western movies there are cowboys, Indians and then there is the cavalry. This is a particularly creepy German Western song that glorifies the military.
A song for kids, with big drums and a marching guitar. On the small Simon label from Hamburg…
