Album Notes

This new release for 2007 reflects the many hundreds of performances we've played at fairs, festivals, cowboy gatherings, and other venues. What we've learned is that people are hungry for the heritage that this music represents. None want it to disappear. From our point of view, the youngsters need learn it.

Cowboy music is part of the work, and the dream of the American West. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of what we do is returning to a fair or festival and hearing children singing along on the classics, where only adults had sung the year before. Another great joy is meeting and working with western musicians and poets who inspire us with their effots and ideas. HERDS, HORSES $ SONG is for all ot you who build and celebrate the dream -- and the reality -- of the west
