Here's a review done for Cowboy Country Magazine on Hugh's new CD:
The Creak of the Leather
Hugh McLennan
By Guest Reviewer Denise Withnell of Cowboy Celtic
Hugh McLennan has become one of the foremost experts on our Canadian cowboy culture and one of its greatest advocates
through his popular radio show, Spirit of the West, his writing, and his own work as cowboy, rancher and MC. Now a CD!
Hugh's first musical CD showcases yet another side of this multifaceted man, including his rich and expressive voice.
The CD does a great job of blending the old West into the new and weaving poetry in with songs. Classics include Texas
In the Spring, Little Joe the Wrangler and Bruce Kiskaddon's The Creak of the Leather (an outstanding cut backed with
a Dvorjak melody exquisitely played on guitar by brother Jim McLennan).

Hugh adds an interesting mix of original material by Dave Stamey, Ken Lee, Bill Barwick, Steve Bell, Stan Wilson, Johnny
Kendrick, Tom Munn, RW Hampton and his brother Jim (whose guitar instrumentals are wonderful). Songs that stand out vocally
are Dream Ridin' and Echoes of the Trail.
This CD has great arrangements and harmonies, and the producing talents of Tom Cole do not go unnoticed. Hugh can be very
proud of what he has accomplished here. This CD is a "must have" for fans of authentic Canadian cowboy poetry and music
made by a man who knows what he's talking about.
This CD is the top selling Western CD on Canadian Cowboy Country's
Music page.
See the list on Hugh's
Face Book page. See the CD on the
Merchandise page.
