Rudy Gonzales

A real working cowboy who has earned his living as a full-time buckaroo, horse trainer, and farrier, Rudy Gonzales is a cowboy poet who has been touring the country reciting poetry and playing his songs almost every weekend for the past 16 years. His music is a montage that captures and celebrates the cowboy life. There is a huge difference, he says, between cowboy and country music. ôMany of these guys singing country music these days just put on a cowboy hat and call themselves cowboys. ItÆs kind of funny when you know that many of them have never ridden a horse or know which end to put the hay in front of.
