Some Nice Things People Have Said

I couldn't resist dancing and singing along with the original songs on this CD set. Little buckaroos who love music, humor, and fun will kick up their heels, too.

Rarely does a CD radiate labor of love so profoundly as The Cowboy Girl's latest, Buckaroos Sleep Too!. It's fun, listenable, incredible playing by Van Manakas and his posse, and I know that kids will love it. Best of all, so will the parents!

When I put the first CD on and a child's wonderful, trilling laughter filled the room -- Heaven! All the material is great; not a clunker in the bunch. From the swingin', foot-taping Honky Tonk Kitty to the beautiful, heart-breaking (and heart-warming) Molly's Song, The Cowboy Girl�s talents as a songwriter and producer will blow your mind. And what a voice - from goofy and playful to beautiful and haunting, and everything in between! As a mother of two I have suffered through countless, unbearable hours in the car listening to some horrible kids' CD that my children adore. It is such a relief and a joy to have a children's CD where all the songs are arranged with such sophistication and such high production values. Now that I have Buckaroos Sleep Too!, I'm ready for a nice long car trip.

About Patience Moore

Singer, songwriter and sometimes yodeler, Patience Moore is an artist who embraces country music’s classic past while keeping one cowgirl-booted foot in the present.

That combination shines brightest in her most recent release, Buckaroos Sleep Too!, a 2-CD collection of music for families, country in nature (from western swing and boogies to acoustic ballads and lullabies) with G-rated lyrics, A-list Nashville musicians, and fresh arrangements, all highlighting Patience’s singing and songwriting.

Patience (aka The Cowboy Girl) sang all the songs and performed all the sound effects for Buckaroos Sleep Too! By refusing to use mechanical sound effects, kids will learn that they can use their voices for funny sounds and improvisations as well.

Patience was chosen to be the featured yodeler at the annual Patsy Montana Birthday Celebration at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame and played festivals with Johnny Cash and Rider’s in the Sky.

After hearing Patience sing the Patsy Montana classic, I Want to be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart, Montana’s grandson, Michael, confessed that Patience’s rendition reminded him so much of his grandma; he thought she sang it the best of anyone he had ever heard. (And he’s heard ‘em all!)

After earning a music degree from Yale University (where she roomed with Jodie Foster), Patience moved to New York City. Her band, Patience and the Cowboy Angels, became a top draw at local clubs, which inspired her move to Nashville in 1998. Once in Nashville, she and producer/ multi-instrumentalist Van Manakas teamed up to create her self-titled album, released on Rab Records.

Patience, the CD, has a stylistic range from western swing and traditional country to a more contemporary sound. They’re all served up by Patience Moore’s velvety voice and emotional delivery. Selected songs have received airplay on Power Country 102.9 FM, Nashville, and her song My Own Boyfriend is included on the soundtrack to Keeping Sound, an independent documentary film for which Patience also wrote several other tunes.

The timing of releasing Buckaroos Sleep Too! could not have been any better. Married in 2000, Patience and husband, Van Manakas, welcomed their son Theo into the world in 2001. Their newest baby boy, August, was born in October 2003.

Now the entire family enjoys the music inspired by Patience’s love of cowboy life, which began with childhood-summers spent under Rocky Mountain skies.

February 2005 Pick of the Month

As artists like They Might Be Giants and Dan Zane of The Del Fuegos have proven, children's music needn't be the domain of purple dinosaurs and other cloying creatures, nor does it require dreadfully inane melodies that grate on parents' nerves. This Nashville singer-songwriter, a.k.a. The Cowboy Girl, enters the playpen with her double CD Buckaroos Sleep Too! The first disc, "Playtime," favors percolating honky-tonk and Western swing, and "Quiettime" focuses on soothing arrangements and campfire fare. Moore has a lovely voice that's sure to comfort the kids, but the A-list players, including Moore's husband Van Manakas on guitars and mandolin, put plenty of fire in the tracks and should keep adults entertained. Ranger Doug from Riders in the Sky joins Moore for two duets, including the bouncy title track, which manages to make getting ready for bed sound like fun.

The new CD by Patience Moore (aka The Cowboy Girl) is a delight in true western tradition. I wish I'd had something like it when my kids were small. I have to say that I know mother would have loved it. She would be proud of this work by Patience.
