Colorado
Trail
(click the title to view and hear

Many of the songs that emerged during the
1800s from what is commonly referred to as “the ole West” in most cases are
authentic American folk songs.
The origin of Colorado Trail is such an example.
Some writers attribute it to a cowboy from Duluth, Minnesota but this has not
been authenticated. This easy to learn arrangement has three settings.
It features (1) a group solo in Part IV, (2) a duet between Parts III & IV, and
(3) a four-part setting that closes it.
