If any of yall are into western literature check out Louis L’Amour if you haven’t already. I have quite a few of his books since they are at a lot of yard sales for some reason. I finally read one of his anthologies and loved it. Painted a great picture in my head. Granted I grew with with a dad and big grandfathers who were into westerns.

On the topic of Westerns, I recently discovered Marty Robbins and he has dragged me down a rabbit hole of falling in love with the entire concept for the first time in my life.
I know he was a huge name to have missed for this long, but its truly amazing to hear someone whose not just genuinely talented at music but can also just conjure a deep little short story over the course of the song and be unapologetically far-right politically without it feeling forced.
Shit he has a song outright called "I've Got No Use for the Women" and its more relevant now than it has ever been.
He was great and his gunfighter ballad album is my favorite
Marty was a magically good singer, glad he's still getting new fans.
