Product Description
After 25 years spent as a working cowboy, in 1984, Waddie Mitchell co-founded the now internationally recognized National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in his hometown of Elko, NV. Waddie Mitchell Live, recorded at the Western Jubilee Warehouse in Colorado Springs, features a special guest appearance by project producer Don Edwards. Musical accompaniment is provided by western guitar legend Rich O'Brien and Grammy winner Norman Blake. Western Horseman calls it 'a fine mixture of music and rhyme, humor and emotion.' Live finds Waddie Mitchell in his favorite place, in front of an audience, taking them along to another world, a Western world, with an excellent blend of original and traditional poetry.

Review
Horse sense and humor from America's best-known cowboy poet. --People Magazine
People
[T]he homespun cowboy poet is joined by guitarist Don Edwards, Norman Blake, and Rich O'Brien as he dispenses his tall tales, barbershop wisdom, and cowboy lore in rhyme. [Mitchell] is an unabashed Western romantic, but he is also a charming humorist.
Customer Reviews
Cowboy Poetry
Waddie Mitchell live is all and more delivered with Waddies trademark ability to spin a great story and make it better.
Waddie is backed by some of the finest musicians in Norman Blake & Rich O'Brien who help to add color to his stories and also play a couple of fine instrumental tracks as well. Also on the album is on of the finest interpruters of the Cowboy song Don Edwards who as always teams with Waddie to make this album a favorite in my collection of Cowboy Music.
Waddy Mitchell Live
I was fortunate enought to see Waddy at a story telling convention in Tennessee.Who would of thought poetry was a form of story telling.He is so entertaining we just had to have a CD to share with the rest of the family. We listen to it over and over never tiring of his dry sense of humor.
