Loading...		Horsepower: The Cowboy Rides Into the Future

		May 5th, 2010 ~ This week on American Routes we're exploring the life of the cowboy. From the desert hills of Nevada to the swampy forests of Florida, the cowboy is an enduring symbol of American individualism and self-reliance. We'll visit with several working cowboys, including a few who can sing a tune or two. Wylie Gustafson might be better known as the man behind the Yahoo yodel, but we'll talk ranching and horses, as well as music. Then we'll talk to Creole cowboy Geno Delafose to learn how he mixes zydeco with cattle raising. Plus a couple of Cracker cowboys share tales of cow-hunting, and lots of music to get you out on the trail. Listen To Hour 1 Listen To Hour 2 Share This
