The multi-instrumentalist, historian and co-founder of the GRAMMY-winning Carolina Chocolate Drops explores the history of the American West with a collection of African-American cowboy songs. The first of its kind, this album takes the listener on an illuminating journey through the Old West via re-worked string-blues music, old-time square-dance music and cowboy poetry, along with original music written specifically for the album.
