Gallo del Cielo

Here’s an unusual campfire version of that fabulous Tom Russell tune about Gallo del Cielo, the rooster born in heaven, performed by Billy and Walter Lloyd. I stumbled across this on YouTube. I first heard this song performed by Ian Tyson way back in the early 80s when his fantastic album, Old Corrals and Sagebrush came out. Tyson performs the song like a Mexican polka and does a very nice job of it. I’ve previously also posted versions by Mr. Russell himself as well as by Joe Ely, who also does a great job with it.

    That’s fine stuff. Sometimes there is nothing like a campfire singalong, even if you can’t always have a real fire.

Have your say...
