Trail Mix Volume One

Riding for the Brand, The Black Rock Coffin Makers, and Dutchman's Flat

By: Louis L'Amour

Narrated by: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson

More than any writer before or since, Louis L'Amour brought the American West to life. His action-packed stories deal with eternal themes: honor, deceit, passion, betrayal, loyalty, courage, love. His settings are historically accurate, his prose riveting, and his characters colorful: good guys, bad guys, toughs, roughs, sidekicks, and saints.

Trail Mix: Volume One gathers together three popular Louis L'Amour stories, most performed by Willie Nelson. "Riding for the Brand" features Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings in a fully dramatized performance.

Critic reviews

"[Willie] Nelson imbues L'Amour's narrative with just the right touch of emotion trickling through his countrified lilt." (The Boston Herald)

Loved this!

Who wouldn’t love stories narrated by Willie Nelson? Not forgetting to mention the wonderful production work behind it, really puts you there!

Good reading and acting

I had never heard these ones before, except read in a boring voice. A nice surprise.

This is really great.

This reminds me so much about the Westerns that my dad was so fond of. Wonderful memories. Thank you so much. We absolutely need more of these

Tales of the West

This was my first taste of L'amour's writing, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I found myself thoroughly hooked on the characters and stories of the old West. Willie Nelson's warm and folksy narration in particular was a good fit. I'm looking forward to the stories in Volume 2.

really fun drama

Of course the L'Mour stories are great. I really loved Willie's narration and the various actors, especially Johnny Cash -- an old familiar voice. Thanks for so much fun.
