HARMS, Joni Cowgirl Dreams (CD)

(Warner Bros. Records) 10 tracks

Joni Harms is the real deal: a former Northwest Rodeo Queen from Canby, Oregon, who began preparing herself for a career in Western music by singing Patsy Montana's I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart for cattle workers at her aunt's hotel when she was only four. She makes her Warner Western debut with 'Cowgirl Dreams', on a album of swing numbers and beautiful ballads that reflects her sincerity and love of music.
