One of Kenn Lee's lesser known songs made an impression on us in the Western Folklife Center Archives recently. Kenn is a songwriter from Guffey, Colorado, and his song "Badger Basin" explores the issues of growth and water rights from a rancher's perspective.
Length: 6:31 ~ Listen or Podcast from iTunes.
Guffey sits in the South Park region, a historically significant area to the high country ranching communities of Colorado, and not far from a place that is known to fewer and fewer residents these days as Badger Basin. Kenn performed this original song at the 1995 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering here in Elko.
