Red Steagall
Western Music & Cowboy Poetry
A popular face at a wide variety of cowboy events is that of Red Steagall, a Texas
cowboy who has made a name for himself as a singer, songwriter, and record
producer. Red and his wife, Gail, turn up at rodeos, poetry gatherings,
cowboy symposiums, and celebrity roping and cutting events, where Red is pretty
handy with a lariat.
Red is probably best know for his Texas swing dance music and such songs
as "Here We Go Again," "Party Dolls and Wine," "Freckles Brown," and "Lone Star
Beer and Bob Wills Music." He has had more than 200 of his songs
recorded and has written songs for several movies, including Savannah Smiles
and Dark Before Dawn.
After graduating from West Texas State University with a degree in Animal
Science and Agronomy, Red drifted into the music industry. He spent
eight years as a music industry executive in Hollywood, and has spent the last
12 years as a recording artist. Red has performed at rodeos and fairs
and even did a show at the White House for Ronald Reagan, back in
1983. He and his band have toured Gewmaany, Spain, Australia,
and the Middle East.
Red has hosted several television shows, including broadcasts of the
National Finals Rodeo; and he has acted too, in Dark Before Dawn and
Benji The Hunted. Red has also produced a movie, Big Bad John,
starring Jimmy Dean, Jack Elam, Ned Beatty, Bo Hopkins, and Jerry
Potter. Another thing that Red did was to help Reba McIntyre
get her professional singing career started.
Despite all of that show business stuff, Red is still just Red Steagall,
West Texas cowboy. He is often a welcome guest at ranch
bunkhouses and brandings. The next time you see him, give
him a howdy. You’ll enjoy the meeting.

Steagall has included both songs and poems on this album. The
poems are all his own. Red's poetry is well written, and his message
is pure cowboy.

It's great to have a performer you can
depend on. When Red Steagall "cuts an album," you always know you'll
get great music and poetry, all of it well-written and superbly performed.
