Tall Boots: A Musical Legacy
Restoring Rare Gems of America's Western Music Pioneers
The release of Tall Boots fulfills a lifelong dream for Suze Spencer. These tracks are the songs she heard her family sing when she was growing up, brought back to life because of her love of the music and determination that they be heard again.
Over 35 years ago, Suze began writing down what she remembered about each song, researching where it came from and who wrote it. She began to recreate the songs, choosing highly capable musicians to join her, always keeping in mind the voices and instrumentation of her family, as well as performing members from those early years.
This outstanding CD is the fruit of her labors. The songs are presented in their original form and style. Each is unique and has a story all it’s own that you can read about on our Tall Boots Songs page.
