Last nights Best Westerns Concert was an enchanting and memorable moment in Western music as Doug Figgs, Mike Blakely and Jim Jones delighted the audience for 2 hours with a special performance by guest Jeff Posey. I will be editing and posting moments from the concert on Rio Grande Valley Radio as time allows. Doug Figgs opened the show with the song Four Strong Winds in honor of Ian Tyson. Tune in tomorrow morning on Rio Grande Valley Radio for Western Country mornings between 7am -9am to hear some more powerful performances from the evening. www.riograndevalleyradio.com

The charming horse with her on the album cover is 'Roxy'.
