Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK!! A poet with a heart of a true cowboy! Review: "Coyote" has the heart of a true western cowboy. As one begins to read the verses, it is almost possible for the reader to taste the dust, feel the cold wind and smell the sage of the high prarie. Listening to the accompanying CD, I truely enjoyed Mike's playful drawl as he describes the "breaking of a colt" thru the eyes of the colt in "Play Time" and his lively discription of a thunderstorm as he recites "The Devil's Whip". Congratulations, Michael "Coyote" Schroll, I hope to see more of your poems very soon!
Rating: Summary: A MUST HAVE collection for Cowboy Poetry lovers! Review: Where the Mustangs Show is a wonderful collection that should be part of anyone's growing library of Cowboy Poetry. The book not only contains the spirit of Michael Schroll's work, but the pages and cover are also graced by a painting by Bonnie Conrad of Utah, and photos by Robbie Larson of Cheyenne. Cowboy Poetry is fun to read. It's fun to read aloud. And this collection comes with a BONUS. Since Cowboy Poetry is a performance art, the book includes a CD with the poetry read by the author. What a delightful treat to enjoy the words interpreted by the author, complete with musical snippets and some appropriate sound effects. Michael's work has the true tone of Cowboy Poetry. A rhyme and rhythm that is comforting and vivid. His voice is charismatic and calm and he paints pictures in our minds that put us in his words and put his words in us. You just want to invite him over for the evening to entertain. Where the Mustangs Show has a special place on our shelf. Michael is a good friend whom we've never met, but with whom we'd love to sit a spell. Just to listen and enjoy. We will head up the trail to stand in line for the first edition of his next collection.

Rating: Summary: I found the book timeless, the CD enchanting & hilarious Review: Where the Mustangs Show, is a work of art, from the heart. Truly Cowboy feelings. The CD is so alive, complete with sound effects. The photography is thought evoking, and makes me wonder who the photos were of. The best Cowboy Poetry book I've read & listened to. In fact, I've purchased 5 additional sets for gifts. It makes a person want to move to Wyoming, Meet, Greet and live like a real cowboy. The author's voice is richer than Burl Ives, and he makes you feel "not alone", with feelings a person gets from time to time.
