Miss V celebrates her heroes in new CD

Miss V's new CD, "Bypast Heroes," arrived today in the mail.

Miss V, a.k.a "The Gypsy Cowbelle," is a singer and musician who's a new addition to the Wyoming Arts Council's artist roster (it will be out in May).

She subtitles her CD a "tribute," featuring people she's known during her 13 years living on a rustic ranch near Cora. Songs include "Homesteader," a tribute "to the life and work of Snook Moore...and to the last of a dying breed," and "Dinosaurs," written for "the ubiquitous piles of bypast [sic] horse equipment abandoned on fields across this land."

The CD was recorded at Eagle Recording Studios in Buffalo, N.Y., and mixed at Select Sound Studios in Kenmore, N.Y. Graphics are by JustBrad at Blanketfort Studios in Wyoming.

All the lyrics and music were written and arranged by "V."

Order a CD by mailing $15 to Cowbilly Productions, PO Box 171, Cora, WY 82925. Also available through http://www.cdbaby.com/.

Beginning July 1, you can bring Miss V to your community through an Arts Across Wyoming grant. More info available after May 20 at the WAC web site.
