About this episode
In this episode we take a look at the "The Dying Cowboy," the first song in John Lomax's 1910 book Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads. We will look at its history, lyrics, and follow it to where it leads us, including the music of Guy Clark and the writing of Larry McMurtry.
