Buck Ramsey - Buck Ramsey: Hittin' the Trail

Called the spiritual leader of the cowboy poetry movement, Buck Ramsey was beloved by his fellow poets and musicians, his cowboy tribe, and all who knew him. A National Cowboy Poetry Gathering favorite and recipient of the highest honor bestowed on traditional folk artists in America, the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship, Ramsey brought traditional cowboy songs to life. This 2-CD set, mostly recorded in concert, shows his immediate warmth and personal presence. Ramsey's spiritual home was always on the range; close your eyes while listening, and you will find yourself transported to the Texas Panhandle. This album is the winner of a 2003 Wrangler Award for Outstanding Traditional Western Music Album from The Cowboy Hall of Fame & Western Heritage Museum� (43rd annual Western Heritage Awards).
