Lauralee Northcott and Horse Crazy Recordings
Cowboy Rhythm (Horse Crazy)
Hittin' the Trail (Horse Crazy)
Car Tunes
Western Moon
We are excited to present our newest collection of music. We developed these arrangements over the last year by performing and modifying, in an effort to get them just right! One of our favorites is "Eastside Cascades," because it takes the listener on a tour of eastern Washington and features all our voices. "Western Moon," written by Nadine, not only takes you on a trip to her particular home, it also lets Emele and me share our love of rural life. "You Put the Gentle Back in Gentlemen," speaks for itself; this one is a treasure and has been the most requested song for quite a while. There are also some standards in the collection like "Shenandoah" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," which we have branded with our harmonies. "Black Despair" and "Mockingbird Yodel" were both gleaned from listening to the music of delightful Jill Jones, and other highlights include "Moon Over Montana," "Cowboy Blues," and the fun Sean Blackburn tune, "Jingle in My Jeans." We hope you enjoy this lively group of songs, please let us know what you think!
Award-winning DJ "Toe Tappin" Tommy Tucker of The Western Heritage Show comments, "When Horse Crazy performs 'live,' they absolutely light up the stage. One of the hardest things to do when recording an album, is to get that special spark in the recordings that one would see on stage. This new album, Western Moon, has captured just that! This is one GREAT album!"

Car Tunes
In 2003, Lauralee released Car Tunes, "a collection of Americana songs for kids to sing in the car with their folks on trips!" Lauralee says "I have taught for 28 years in the Methow Valley and I've sung with hundreds of children, so this collection comes from a long line of tradition." It's a fun CD and definitely for "kids of all ages." There are 15 tracks including "Don't Fence Me In," "Five Hundred Miles," "Tennessee Stud," and "This Land is Your Land."
Order here or from Mountain Sound.
