Album Notes & Community Reviews

Mitchell's debut album mixes classic cowboy tales with his own poems, each set to musical accompaniment. The recording followed his four appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, invitations he had initially declined because he had never seen the show and did not know who Carson was.
