Good Reads & ON THE JUkEBOX
Being a lover of mustangs, with the goal of
rescuing them to a big ranch...I realize I need to
have some education from others before me that
have adopted, gentled and loved the mighty,
wild ones. An avid reader, I enjoy the word of
others and gleam all the information and
education I can. Well, Mikey Porter does not
disappoint. In her book “Eyes with Fire”,
Porter delivers her mustang experiences, with
heartfelt and colorful recanting's of the different
personalities she has come to know, train and
love. It will make you cry, laugh & want to go
adopt a mustang. Go ahead, get a mustang, but
first get Mikey Porter’s book’s “Eyes With
Fire” and also “Wild Expectations”, the
complete guide on taming a wild or
“unhandled” horse. Mikey Porter is the real deal
with a lifetime of riding, showing, training and
loving horses. www.mikeyporter.com
One of my newest favorite CD’s is
“UNBRIDLED”, the latest release from
Western Underground. If you’re familiar with
Chris LeDoux, the World-Champion Bronc
Rider and cowboy, then you’re familiar with
his music. Although LeDoux passed on at the
young age of 56, his music continues to rock
forward with the original band members and
the welcomed addition of drummer,
songwriter, singer, Ned LeDoux, Chris’ son.
The title track “Unbridled” kicks butt and is
quickly followed up by 10 country rockin’
cuts including the heartfelt “Think About
Rain” and “Broken In”. The musicians don’t
get any better than Mark Sissel, guitars;
Dusting Evans, vocals; Bobby Jensen,
keyboards; David “Pop” Evans, bass; Ned
LeDoux, percussion; K.W. Turnbow, drums. The musicianship of these cowboys is
fantastic, layered and expert. This CD is stories of life and love as time passed for
Chris LeDoux. I highly recommend it to all of you. www.westernunderground.com
