		About The CD James F. Curley writes and performs lyrically agile, musically virtuous and sonically excellent "Cosmic Cowboy Country Blues Folk Music." The songs disengage from standard country/folk genre pulp and offer fresh lyrics wrapped in familiar but unique American musical packaging.
		This simply means that James draws on the great songwriting traditions in what is now called 'Americana' music, but is truly original and not derivative of any one style or artist.
		James' vocals are supported frequently with lush harmonies by Nancy Walker and Sue Demel, two of the most original and powerful singers in contemporary folk music.
