Some of the greatest cowboy songs of all time are melancholy. To many Americans the cowboy is frozen in time with songs like, "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" and "Streets of Laredo." But songs of regret are still be written by cowboys today about the regrets of the modern world. "Adios Escalante," tells the story of the demise of grazing country in the newly created Grand Staircase National Monument. Curly Musgrave talks about the way this land was appropriated and the sadness of the ranching community in southern Utah.

Curly has recorded this song on his CD called The Heritage. Purchase the CD in our onlne gift shop.
