Cowboy Magazine

For those of us who love cowboy poetry, this is perhaps the best anthology we've yet heard.

Product Description

"The BAR-D Roundup" is a compilation of contemporary recordings of some of today's best classic and contemporary cowboy poetry. It includes Texas Poet Laureate Red Steagall's "Born to this Land"; Buck Ramsey’s first recording of "Anthem"; “What’s Become of the Punchers?” by Jack Thorp, America’s first collector of cowboy music and poetry, recited by Mark L. Gardner; "The Greatest Sport," by the well-loved octogenarian poet and working cowboy, Cowgirl Hall of Fame inductee Georgie Sicking; "What Would Martha Do?," by Yvonne Hollenbeck, named "the most popular cowboy poem of 2005"; treasures from two masters, lost recently, and too soon: "Johnny Clare," by Larry McWhorter and "Change on the Range," by Sunny Hancock, recited by Chris Isaacs; and many other selections from contemporary poets reciting their own works and the classics.

By	C. K. Welch "b boy" (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

$[...] for a CD seemed a bit high, but it was praised so highly by Andy and Jim Nelson of Clear Out West Radio that I went ahead and bought it. I have heard the work of all the great artists on the CD and this is a wonderful compilation. The CD was put together by the folks at [...]. They do a great service to help preserve and sustain the cowboy way of life. I hope that my $20 (as measly as it seems) can help them continue promoting the culture of the farmers and ranchers who provide the backbone for our entire country.
