Synopsis
Cowboys sing songs about their hardscrabble lives on the range, and talk about why they do, in this survey of what producer Hal Cannon calls "a sagebrush revolution." Cannon, founding director of the Western Folklife Center in Elko, Nev., travels to four ranches to meet the cowboys---some are women, one's a Native American and another's a refugee from Nashville.
