A Prairie Home Companion for July 26, 2008 from American Public Media

July 26, 2008

Coming up this week on A Prairie Home Companion: a special Wild West compilation show full of unwashed cowboys, jangling spurs, painful cacti, and rotgut whiskey. Cowboy poet Paul Zarzyski recites "Bucking Horse Moon," Stephanie Davis sings an ode to bailing twine, and Wylie Gustafson gives a sentimental performance of "Cattle Call." And because you can never have too much yodeling, Janet Sorenson sings "Cowboy Sweetheart," plus Tish Hinojosa, Chris Thile, Joe Ely & Joel Guzman, and Robin & Linda Williams.
