Yellowstone and the Tetons are powerful symbols of the mythic West, yet
every person has made these places his or her own. For our songwriting contest, the Western Folklife Center received over 100 new songs written by folks who love some aspect of this great area of the American West -- fishing, bears, historic characters, sunset on the
Tetons, snowmobiles. The songs were funny, heartfelt, philosophical, angry or even instrumentals. Compositions were in several musical genres: folk,
classical, bluegrass, gospel, country, rock, jazz, and hip-hop.
