This
album was put together a few years ago. It includes several musicians
and friends well known in the Western Music and the Country Western Music
world accompanying Ken. It is all original cowboy songs that Ken and his
wife, Coleen, wrote. Being a cowboy for a living and both of them growing
up on ranch's in Arizona, they both have had many stories to make into
songs. It was nominated for "Album of the Year" by the "Western
Music Association" and the "Academy of Western Artists".
It was also recognized and nominated to be inducted into the Cowboy Hall
of Fame by the National Historical Society for "Arizona/Southwest
Western and Cowboy Heritage, History and Culture".
The
newest of our albums has just been released, "Cowboys Life".
It features our group "ROUGHSTRING". It is original western
and cowboy songs and classic old time cowboy songs. It features our lead
guitar player, Skelly Boyd, and our fiddle player, Jess Barry, in a couple
of instrumental tunes. Roughstring has long been a favorite at many gatherings
and this album has become one of our best sellers. It is available in
CD.
Ken Moore & Jon Messenger "JINGLE IN THE HORSES"
A good many years ago, Ken and a long time friend and partner,
Jon Messenger (retired President for the Western Music Assoc.) had a group
known as "RIMFIRE". This Duo brought a new and refreshing sound
and style to an already booming genre. Though still staying in the traditional
boundaries, RIMFIRE was able to book many shows throughout the country
because of their "sound". It is an album of original and old
time cowboy songs. It is available only in Tape. CD soon to be released.
