Red Cliffs Press is pleased to announce the release of "EQUINE", the all new/all original seventh studio recording from Utah Singer/Songwriter Brenn Hill. "EQUINE" features 16 original songs that in large part focus on the relationship between people and their horses. It includes audience favorites like "Monster On Your Back", a song written about seventy-plus-year-old cowboy legend Bill Hadlock from Huntsville, Utah, and "Ridin' Them Colts", a song about a cowboy's life-long addiction to colt-breaking. Other live-performance favorites like "Rachel's Roses", "Nothin' In This Life" and "Carter Cedars" commemorate the profound struggle of cancer and the healing power of horses, while "The Ballad of Ed Cantrell" honors the life and career of the controversial lawman from Sweetwater County, Wyoming. "EQUINE" features an all-star cast of award-winning musicians such as Larry Beaird, Jonathan Yudkin, JT Corenflos, and Eddie Bayerz. Recorded at Beaird Music Group studios in Nashville, Tennessee, the result is a broad array of musical influences and tastes that create a diverse listening experience for any music lover. The recording comes on the heels of some of the most challenging experiences of Hill's life and will leave you with good reason to be hopeful for the injured bronc-rider, the cancer-stricken child, or the horses that bring peace to the high and low points of life. It is an inspiring look at the generational nature of equine love, ranching, fatherhood, and the ever-determined western spirit. If you love horses you must have "EQUINE".

Retired firefighter and truck mechanic. Lover of Cowboy and Western Music. I enjoy performing cowboy poetry. I write most of what I recite and I have one CD titled "Riding the Range." I am also a member of the Cowboy Poets of Utah. I have performed in several venues (Heber City, Elk0, Valentine, NE) and several smaller shows. Some of my poems are from memories, some from hopes and dreams. One of my favorites is a historically correct story of Lane Frost, the young bull rider who inspired the movie "Eight Seconds."
