Product Description My life is good. I have a great family, a beautiful wife, the grace of God, and good horses. Horses seem to be the reoccurring theme in my life and on this recording. I first became attached to horses as a youngster. My dad's #1 rope horse was a swaybacked Quarter Horse mare we called Becky. She had a talent for giving my dad a good shot every time. She also had a knack for babysitting, which made her a much loved partner around the Gustafson ranch. My favorite pastime was to hop on Becky's back for off-roading adventures around our rural home. I enjoy writing about what inspires me. More and more it has been my friend equus caballus: the horse. When it comes time to chisel my tombstone, I hope the term horseman will be included to describe what I accomplished in this world. And more importantly, I hope it will be said that I was fair and kind to God's greatest beast.' - Wylie Gustafson Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSuperb combo of country western folk blues and swing hyperbolium | Earth, USA | 07/05/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Wylie Gustafson's return to rural living in the mid-90s continues to pay dividends in his music. Bred in Montana, Gustafson's act was born of the California scene and tempered by a stretch in Nashville. But years of Eastern Washington ranching and horsemanship has taken his Western-themed music to a more sacred level. He takes a page from the book of Marty Robbins, not only with sweet Western ballads like "Hooves of the Horses" and Mexicali-flavored tunes like "Manolito," but with variety that includes the slinky blue "Leather Lover" and a jazz tinged cover of Bob Nolan's "I Grab My Saddle Horn and Blow."Covers of Buddy Holly ("Everyday"), Johnny Cash ("Luther Played the Boogie"), and Tom Russell ("The Sky Above, The Mud Below") complement fine originals like the slyly sweet "Mmm... Montana" and the instrumental walking blues, "76." Gustafson crafts songs from cowboy poetry and pulls out his considerable yodeling skill for a cinematic cover of Bob Nolan's "Happy Rovin' Cowboy." The song selections move from country to western to folk to blues to swing with a fluidity that puts this release among the group's best."
