Cowboy poet PAUL ZARZYSKI and cowboy singer-composer WYLIE GUSTAFSON — from Montana.

As poets, songwriters and horsemen, Wylie Gustafson and Paul Zarzyski have pursued their writing and riding passions for over 35 years. The two met in 1987 at the third annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. Shortly thereafter, their co-written songs began to appear on Wylie’s albums. In the fall of 2008, they joined Nashville producer John Carter Cash in his Cash Cabin Studio to record the CD HANG-n-RATTLE! According to Mark Bedor of American Cowboy magazine, they’re “like Lennon and McCartney in cowboy hats.” Please read the complete bios online here.
