Recordings are made for a reason, and the reason for WESTERNERS is our desire to celebrate the American West, preserve its history and honor its people. Proud we are to be native westerners many generations strong, with both our families traveling the emigrant trail in the 1850s and 1860s and establishing themselves in the present states of Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

 The original songs on this recording reflect our personal heritage (The Ranch That I Can’t See, I Ride The Range) and explore possible histories of early western pioneers (Home To You, Cowboy’s Farewell). Prairie Rose Henderson, a pioneer of women’s rodeo who may have been an amalgam of two or more people, captured our imaginations with dramatic tales of her life and death (Show Me Mister, Common Wisdom). Out of pure sassiness we’ve included an upbeat story of western teenage heartbreak (The Cowboy That Made Me Blue) and Bruce’s first recorded original song, dating from the early 1950s (Buddy and Me).  He was four years old.
