This book will change your life! Well, maybe not. But it may deepen your appreciation for the lives we've been dealt. And that's cowboy poetry. "Nobody connects an audience with the West better than rancher, JJ Steele ... poet, singer, songwriter, storyteller, humorist; JJ is the whole enchilada in western entertainment's menu!" - Susie Knight, Western Music Association Poet of the Year. JJ Steele has penned up his best cowboy poems and songs in this written collection. A native of the Northern Colorado livestock industry, JJ grew up feeding cattle, raising sheep, and training horses. "Lookin' at the world from under the brim of a cowboy hat, just changes what you do with your head." Since retiring from his "day job," JJ has fulfilled his lifelong ambition to be a full-time, card carrying, cow poet. For several years, he's delighted folks with his cowboy tales, poems, and songs. His verses are carved from the times and people he's known, and re-create JJ's unique, colorful and poignant view of the West. JJ has two audio collections: Thinkin' In Rhyme (2011), and More Rhyme For No Reason (2013). Many of the poems and songs in this collection are featured there, and provide sample of JJ's gift as a storyteller. They are available thru the contact information at his web page www.jjsteele.com.
