 Music Row Magazine’s Robert Oermann recently reviewed the title track of Templeton’s “life on planet cowgirl” CD. ”The title tune to this lady’s latest is a rippling little gem. Sparkling guitar licks, a heartfelt vocal and a sunny lyric are the calling cards here.” Oermann’s take on Templeton’s Texas Radio hit, "If I Didn't Need the Money" -"Templeton Thompson, love the name. It sounds like the moniker of a star. And, happily, her zesty vocal sounds star-like, too. There's energy and fire in this upbeat country-rocker." and, "girls & horses"..."The title tune to her current cd reveals the songwriter's other passion, horses. The catches & breaks in her soprano are as ear-catching as the lilting melody"...  Templeton Thompson shared with us some of the songs that really inspire her (see her playlist below). We wanted to add our two cents about Tempy's own music that we find inspiring. Take the two songs she contributed to Patti Hall's On Horses' Wings benefit compilation CD for Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center: "Girls & Horses" and "Wishin' You Wings." In the liner notes, Hall thanks Tempy for her "dear friendship, giving spirit, and angelic voice." We couldn't agree more. You can hear her angelic voice on her CDs, and to give you an idea of how giving her spirit is, we're taking the liberty of reprinting part of an e-mail exchange with Tempy during the production of the C&I story on her and the review of On Horses' Wings. "Have really enjoyed getting to talk a lot about Patti Hall's On Horses' Wings CD ... she's the sweetest, coolest cowgirl :-) . Cannot thank y'all enough for being so supportive of Patti's project - I'm so proud of her, so honored to be a part of this deal, and I just know it's going to be successful in raising lots of money and awareness for such a beautiful cause. ... Hope you're havin' a beautiful day!" tt TT's C & I playlist  thanks to the folks at Trafalgar Square/Horse & Rider Books for this fun Q & A!!
