Luther Henderson & His Orchestra

Artist: Luther Henderson & His Orchestra

LP: Pop! Goes the Westerns

Song: "Down Hoe-In It"

[ listen ]

This high-steppin', hoe-downin' hootenanny from Luther Henderson, the master of hand-clappin' instrumental dance music of the '60s, is the perfect thing to wake up to first thing in the morning. In fact, I find it's also the perfect thing to wake up to after you've already been at work for 45 minutes. Technically, the album should probably either be called "Pop! Go the Westerns" or "Pop! Goes the Western," but who cares about semantics—let's dance!
