A Polka Tribute to John Wayne Vlach Szabo and the Tamburitza Polka Kings
Saddle up, pardner, and grab your accordion! Vlach Szabo and the Tamburitza Polka Kings ride into town with a rollicking tribute to the biggest cowboy the silver screen ever saw. Blazing trumpets, whirling clarinets, and galloping tamburitza strings tell the tale of how an Iowa boy named Marion Morrison became The Duke. Stomp along as a one-eyed, whiskey-soaked marshal charges four outlaws with the reins in his teeth. Raise a glass to Big Jake, who keeps insisting he’s “not necessarily” dead. Sing the most famous line John Wayne never actually said. Then waltz through the jailhouse at Rio Bravo, chase a runaway stagecoach across Monument Valley, and march to the Alamo with all the pomp a brass section can muster.
Nine tracks of oom-pah, swagger, and true grit. It’s the legend you know, played the way only the Tamburitza Polka Kings can play it. So pull your hat down just right and get ready to dance. Kowalski, we’re ridin’ out tonight!
