Kim O'Connor
The Modern Singing Cowboy

His music is laden with acoustic guitars and harmonicas. His voice is pleasant and natural. His usual greeting is a genuine "Howdy" with smiling eyes and a nod. He then dons his trademark ten-gallon hat and starts the journey. O'Connor's music is a trip down a dusty Texas farm to market road. He takes the listener along as he visits the rural country areas, explaining family values and pointing out inspirational sights along the way."

Christopher Amos-"Country Music Today"

"O'Connor looks like the cowboy who rides the range inside everyone's imagination, and he sounds like a native of Lonesome Dove. A stockyards veteran, his true-west tunes always add an authentic note to the Chisholm Trail proceedings."

Shirley Jinkins-"Ft. Worth Star-Telegram"

"Modern Singing Cowboy Extraordinaire!"

Too Slim of Riders In The Sky

"Kim O'Connor has the perfect personality for a VIP group of this kind and he is exactly what people envision....the epitomy of a singing cowboy. He looks the part.....complete with his chaps and harmonica and he has a beautiful voice. He is so personable, and he is able to communicate with people from all walks of life."

Judith Love Rondeau

"Here is the long-awaited follow-up album, Ten-Gallon Days. There are eleven self-written songs that show a slice of Americana fading from the horizon. "Ten Gallon Days" is fun, along with "Lopin' Through Life", and "People Wave In Texas". There are some serious songs also,-- "Mending" and "Look At That Moon". A simply superlative set of love songs are "One Romantic Thing', "Still Falling" and "Howdy Ma'am".

Billy Joe Gabriel-"Ft. Worth Stockyards Gazette"

"The Texas Department of Economic Development Tourism Division and I would like to thank you and the Lucky Rangers for performing at the recent "America Night" tourism promotion event in Barcelona, Spain. Your Lucky Rangers' performance of classic Texas songs at the event was definitely a highlight of an evening filled with entertainment from throughout the United States. The Spanish travel industry and Spanish media present at this event truly experienced a great example of what makes Texas such a unique destination for millions of travelers each year."

Brad Smyth, Europe Sales & Marketing Manager, Texas Department of Economic Development

"Dear Ol' Buddy Kim-

"I received your package of Goodies, and just finished listening to Ten-Gallon Days. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am to listen to some real original Western sounds with that old fashioned feeling. I must confess I am sick of some of this junk being played today that they have the guts to call Western Music. Thanks for helping to bring back the REAL thing. Keep shooting low Buddy! They're out there crawling!

Well, Friend! I'm going back to listening to some more of the albums you sent. I might learn something if I put my ear to your pearly shells! And I might say they are well recorded, a darn good studio. Keep up the good work ole Pal. GOD BLESS YOU."

Herb Jeffries--The Bronze Buckaroo

"Kim O'Connor has been in the business of creating feelings in people through his music for over 30 years. Now he's known, with FWSA, as one of the most genuine, talented, humble songwriter/artists we've ever been fortunate enough to get to know. Sincere thanks to Kim O'Connor for sharing his time, experience and music with FWSA."

Ft. Worth Songwriter's Association

"Dear Kim:

Thanks so much for providing such an enjoyable evening of entertainment at this year's MS RODEO & CONCERT VIP Party, benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Your multiple talents, professional demeanor and genuine artistry definitely enhanced the occasion. We appreciate your unending repertoire and range of selection, but more so, your cooperative style."

"Dear Kim:

It was a pleasure to spend time with you this past summer during the ceremonies surrounding our exhibit titled "Texas - Tradition und Moderne" held at the Flughafen Frankfurt am Main gallery. On behalf of Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, may I express my sincere appreciation for your support of this Texas event. I realize that with your busy schedule, many demands are made on your time. I consider it an honor that you helped us bring some Texas/country music to Germany.

I thank you once again for your tireless efforts in presenting a professional, yet friendly Texas image.

Sincerely,
