Listen to what you will see
The Poems and songs performed come from a draw to a simpler time when cowboys drove cattle along the trail, camped around fires, and took in the natural beauty of the american west.
From west texas sunsets to the rocky mountain range, the paintings russell’s writing create are calls to the cowboy spirit. we hope these performances take you to that place that left you wondering what it must have been like to roam the american west.
RECENT RECORDINGS
Though nothing compares to a live performance with a drink in the hand, fire blazing, and being surrounded by good friends - these recordings are samples of Russell shaw’s performances.
“He’s been livin’ a lie that’s been gettin’ him by,
for most of his forty years,
that his dream’n some day he would get underway,
rope’n and brand’n his steers.
his friends think he’s crazy, and probably too lazy
to be make’n his way as a hand.
but he knows in his heart that he’s right for the part.
a cowboy will be his last stand.”
