Top singer and songwriter Juni Fisher’s Let 'er Go 'Let 'er Buck' Let 'er Fly celebrates the men, women, and horses of the Pendleton Round-Up ”marking its 100th  anniversary in 2010. There are eight original songs along with others written by Ian Tyson ("The Amber Saddle"); Wylie  Gustafson and Paul Zarzyski ("A Pony Called Love"); and Hal Ketchum and Danny O'Keefe ("Jackson Sundown").

She introduces three legendary Pendleton riders in her original  songs: Bonnie McCarroll, Prairie Rose Clayton, and Yakima Canutt. Her audio  commentaries and liner notes reflect the depth of research that went into this  project, including interviews with participants, family, and experts, and hours  in archives and museums poring over photographs and films, listening to tapes, and studying books.

A pioneer in her own world, who better than Juni Fisher to tell the stories of other women who fought for their place in a mostly-male  world. In 2008, Juni Fisher was the first female to receive the Western  Heritage Wrangler Award for Traditional Western Album from the National  Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum (for Gone to  Colorado) and the first female to receive the Songwriter of the Year Award in the history of the Western Music Association.

The title song is introduced and the names of the saddle bronc-riding women are proudly stated. Juni Fisher states, "This song is for  every one of them." "Cowgirlfriends," a fun, cheeky duet with Patty Clayton has already received wide radio play. Juni Fisher writes about its inspiration, "After studying  900-plus archived photos of early rodeo performers, it became evident which  cowgirls were friends and which were not."

But the women's stories are just one part of this project. Rodeo greats Jackson Sundown and Jerry Ambler have their places. And others are mentioned in other songs, particularly in the inventive "Snubbin'  Horse (Not for Me)," a hats off to the forebears of pickup horses, told from a  snubbing horse's perspective. Other tracks include "A Horse Like  You," a swing-style song to a favorite horse and "Round-up to  Remember," a rousing, catchy tune for the Pendleton Rodeo itself. 

Few can set a mood and bring characters to life as well as Juni  Fisher. Songs from past acclaimed albums, including Gone to Colorado, Tumbleweed Letters, Sideshow Romance, and Cowgirlography are recognized as important and lasting contributions to the Western music canon. Her songwriting magic creates worlds. Andy Nelson (who plays the part of  a rodeo announcer on the cleverly-written introduction to "A Pony Called Love")  says it well in his vivid description of Let 'er Go 'Let 'er Buck' Let  'er Fly: "In an instant I was a century younger, I tasted the dust in the Pendleton arena, I smelled the lathered bucking stock, I rode with Jackson  Sundown, and I witnessed Bonnie McCarroll's fateful ride."

Top musicians  with great fiddles, mandolins, piano, Irish banjo and more add to the mix and to  the uncompromising quality of the production. The snappy package design by Jeri Dobrowski with cover art background by Janene Grende (www.janenegrende.com)  captures the spirit of the lively tales inside.

Sedalia Colorado was the birthplace of Juni's maternal Grandmother, and the scene of successes and heartbreaks for her  Grandmother's father, John E Overstreet. Juni set out to uncover a long-kept  family secret, about John's first family: his wife and child who shared a ranch and life with him. 

From his birthplace in Missouri, to long cattle drives as a a teenager, to his first marriage and child on a historic Colorado ranch, John Overstreet lived his dream as a cowboy, leaving an  indelible and still-present mark on Sedalia. Songwriting legend Ian Tyson sent Juni his "Range Delivery," and writer of "Old Double Diamond," Gary McMahon contributed "Waitin' For Spring." Top Producer Rich O'Brien added incredible guitar and mandolin, as well as his keen ear for production. Patty Clayton's beautiful harmonies are perfect throughout. If you love storytelling through song, and want to experience a classic journey, buy this for yourself and your  family members.

New for 2006! "Cowgirlography" describes this new Juni Fisher release to a
TEE! Swing your saddle on a  westward wind and enjoy the ride as she takes you from a county fair race track  to the work pens and a lady vaquero's way of training, from a dying wrangler's last request to a rollicking celebration of the Cowgirl and the ways of the  West. Dedicated to the late great Western Artist, Joelle Smith, this celebration  of the Cowgirl is a must have!

“We love all of Juni’s CD’s but this is our favorite!!”
