Sid Hausman
Sid Hausman is a wrangler, trailrider, cowboy
and genuine personality of the Southwest, who specializes in writing and performing
music of the American Southwest. A real wrangler from Tesuque,
NM, Sid tours both U.S. coasts and Europe annually and performs
at many Western Music Festivals. In addition, he was a New Folk
Finalist at Kerrville in 1977.
Sid's "November Moon" and
"Los Estados Unidos" (Geronimo's Land CD) are
included in the soundtrack for the highly-acclaimed (and possibly Academy
Award nominated) documentary "Cochise County USA - Cries from the
Border" .
"Hausman's Music and Songs are an amalgam
of folk, bluegrass and cowboy ballads. His songs evoke and salute
the Spanish, Indian and pioneer legacies that are such an important
part of the Southwest . . . Hausman's banjo picking is very impressive."

"Akin to Guthrie, Rogers and Williams,
his songs vibrate with personality and consummate musicianship,
flowing with visual images of old America." - Folk Roots
