Rustler's Moon
Wade Montgomery, Rustler's Moon This morning I have a new album on repeat as I prepare my usual breakfast of an apple, black tea and a toasted English muffin with peanut butter. Rustler’s Moon by Wade Montgomery, first released in 1994, so it is not a new album by any means, but it is new to me. And I love every song on the ten track release. It is classic western music, songs about bucking horses and growing up on the Northern Cheyenne reservation, gold panners in Idaho and lost love. While all the songs may not be personal stories, they clearly come from life experience. I am humming along to songs like Bound for Billings and Weakness as I scoop the last large gobs of peanut butter out of the jar and hand the nearly empty Skippy container to the impatient husky beside me for cleaning. He trots into the mudroom with his prize and I do a Google search for Wade. All I can find are links to his songs on Spotify, a live performance on 11th and Grant radio show in Bozeman from 2010
