Our Story
Grammy Nominated songster DON EDWARDS continues to build a legacy that enriches our vision of the American West. In tales of the day-to-day lives and emotions of those who lived it, his ballads paint a sweeping landscape of both mind and heart, bringing to life the sights, sounds and feelings of this American contribution to culture and art. The quality of this cowboy balladeer's music stems from the fact that he is so much more than a singer. Bobby Weaver of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, summed up Edwards' importance as "the best purveyor of cowboy music in America today."
An historian, author and musicologist, unusually well-versed in cowboy lore and musical traditions, Don brings a rare complement of knowing and loving his craft. Mostly though, there is the soul of a poet, a man who has never succumbed to the temptations of presenting a glamorized or romanticized version of the West.
"Think of Don Edwards as a singing scholar of the old west. We are a little lax about these family heirlooms of ours and ought to be greateful to have such a caretaker of them." JAMES EARL JONES, An American Moment
"Don, I will always treasure the wonderul gift of music you gave me on my 90th birthday...I'm proud and honored to be riding the same trail as you/" GENE AUTRY
