Free Range Pickin'

Rusty Gates grew up in the marshlands of the West, where life reveals itself slowly. Music’ll do that, too. He and his trusty steed Lazybones traverse the 4th dimension of American roots, searching for songs to move your feet and head and heart. Saddle up with Rusty and come along for the ride. Cowboy philosophy no extra charge.
