Without
trains, the American interior would not have opened up when it did and our country's
history would have been quite different. Without trains, the cowboy as we envision
him would not exist. The railhead at Abilene was one destination for long cattle
drives that helped create the legend of the American cowboy. Movies embellished
that legend and gave us many of the images we still sing about, in songs that
a lot of us grew up with.
Walt
Richards and Paula Strong, duo founders of Trails & Rails, have a large repertoire
of cowboy and train songs, along with standard folk, old time songs and instrumentals.
New cowboy, train and folk songs continue to be written to this day. Old and new,
Trails & Rails enjoys them all.
Trails & Rails
includes Bruce Huntington on bass, Ken Wilcox on vocals, guitar and autoharp.
