When we heard our friend Jody Foss was making a slideshow of her back-country travels by mule and needed appropriate songs, we got right on it and contributed some of our favorite mule and cowboy songs. Then we added more songs that seemed compatible to fill out the album. The next summer, we toured campgrounds of the West with Jody, opening her show with some live music—a fun tour! *Georgia Mules and Country Boys (the Osborne Brothers) *Nightrider’s Lament (Michael Burton) *Leavin’ Town (Rick Pepper) *Hold on to that Sleigh (trad.) Flop-Eared Mule (trad.)
