Juni Fisher's Newest CD
On This CD
Jackson Sundown
Ian Tyson suggested I see if songwriter Danny O’Keefe might let me hear this song about the great bronc rider Jackson Sundown of the Nez Perce’ Tribe. Film clips of the day revealed a stoic man, 50 years old, who rode a saddle bronc like a feather on the wind. It was 1916 when the scores finally reflected his great rides, and he won the title. Danny O’Keefe and cowriter Hal Ketchum told his story perfectly
Cowgirlfriends (with Patty Clayton)
After studying some 900 archived photos of early rodeo performers, it was easy to see, by body lanquage which cowgirls were friends and which were not. Since singer songwiter Patty Clayton is one of my favorite cowgirlfriends, she seemed a natural for this number.
A Horse like You
My own horse, Mach Two, a.k.a “Flipper” makes his second appearance in song, (first in the 2006 CD “Cowgirlography” in the song “Little Red Horse”) in this swing style tribute to the best equine buddy anyone could have.
When I Was Prairie Rose
Tremendous thanks to Shirley Morris, (Bend OR) who unraveled the mystery about the dissapearance and utimely demise of one of the several Prairie Roses of early rodeo.
Pony Called Love
When pal Wylie Gustafson handed me his I-Pod backstage at a show, so I could hear this new song he and poet Paul Zarzyski had written, I immediately told him I wanted to record it. We have all been there at one time in life or another.
The Ambler Saddle
I heard Ian Tyson sing this song at Hamley’s durin gthe 2006 Pendleton Roundup, while he stood in front of the legendary Ambler Saddle, which had been brought in just for that show. I’m grateful to “Mister T” for allowing me to record it.
Snubbin Horse (Not For Me)
The snubbing horses of early rodeo held broncs to be saddled and mounted, and the legendary Tipperary had his own personal snubbing horse. They are now the pickup horses, and they and their riders are some of the hardest working, yet least acknowledged of any rodeo participants. They deserved a song!
Roundup To Remember
To the folks who make the Roundup happen, hats off to you! It is truly, a Roundup to remember!
