COUNTRY
FORT WORTH WEST
Producers: Bill Horn and Fort Worth West
Fort Worth West is an extremely solid Encino, Calif.-based smooth-rocking
country group. All four members write, play and sing, and display the confidence
of a seasoned group that has stared down more than one hostile or indifferent
barroom crowd. Candy Chase plays bass, Michael J. Dohoney handles drums
and percussion, Dave Fraser plays keyboards, accordion, and harmonica,
and producer Bill Horn plays guitars, Dobro and mandolin. It’s a cliché
to say it, but, in today’s country-music system, groups like this don’t
have the time or opportunity to develop this kind of musical chemistry.
Songs here cover love, railroads, line dancing (“Tush Pushin’”),
“Mardi Gras Romance,” voodoo and a gem from Glen Clark (formerly of Delbert
& Glen, as in Delbert McClinton) titled “Prettiest Eyes in California.”
