The album Colorado Blue is my first introduction to Gary McMahan and I'm now a fan for life. His voice has a wonderful range from canyon deep to mountain yodeling and what a cowboy story teller! Human, humorous, poignant portraits that I suspect are more than half true. This is western music at its very, very best. You will love it.

Hey Gary! They are still talkin' about you in Southern Arizona - I reckon that's a good thing!? You blew us away with 2 weekends of high energy McMahan entertainment! You are terrific and we hope you'll come back to this border country soon! Muchas gracias mi amigo!

Gary, Your new CD is so relaxing and enjoyable to listen to while commuting home in the snow. "Goodbye" is absolutely on the mark for how I feel about my best friend Susie who died in October -- I'm going to share it with her Wyoming family who will all agree with me. Pretty awesome stuff for a "Robin Williams" type guy! Congrats on the great reviews you've been receiving on your new CD. I had a great time when you were in Arvada recently at America's Soul Live! Hoping for the opportunity to see you perform again soon! Jan

Gary,
Those of us that have known you back when your audience was the hay crew inside the bunkhouse and the bulls and the horses outside the bunkhouse always knew you had a special gift. It’s nice to see that you are appreciated wherever the western spirit still lives.

Thanks for letting me take a few photos of you last Tuesday at America's Soul Live at the Old Town Pickin' Parlor. I enjoy and marvel at your quick wit, dry sense of humor and keen observation of the human condition. Thanks too for performing "Beer Can Bob". That song conjures up vivid images in my mind's eye. I chuckle for days after I watch and hear you present it. Thanks!
Hope to see you again soon.

Gary IS the most talented cowboy I know, and I know a lot of cowboys since my family own the Pawnee Ranch. He is also one of the nicest people God created.

Gary,
I am very lax in getting back toyou after your wonderful visit to Dubois in august. I think I am still within the year acceptional Emily Post response and Thank you period, but who listens to her anymore. A BIG thank you for your great performance. People are still comenting and to the god about your night with us in August. Also a grand thank you for the written words to your fmaous poems. Krizinne loved her book and the whole night was such a grand success. You are a great guy and much appreciated. I have a newspaper to send off to you with you handsome face taking up 1/2 of the page. I imagine you would think it was scarry but we are all proud of it and you. Thank you again and please prosper and enjoy 2010. Greatfully, Sally Jardine

I listened to all of your songs. I really like what I hear. Wish I had heard this great stuff earlier.

Sure like your "Chaps" poem. South Dakota is ranch and rodeo country and the only people around here who call leggins 'sore lips' are the ones who don't know which end of a horse gets up first. You have some great stuff. Just listened on Ralphs. Travel safe, take care.

Gary –
Your new CD arrived not too long ago and now I have a problem: “Yodel Poem” just finished playing and I can’t find my socks – your song clear knocked them suckers off!! And now my toes are tappin’ to “Okeechobee Joe” – damn, I’ve lost control of my feet completely!!!

We LOVE the new CD. We listened to it all the way home from Albuquerque. We don't take trips unless we have our collection of Gary McMahan CDs in the van. Keep 'em coming!! We found the old cassettes from the old days...you are living proof that some things DO get better with age!!

Hey, Gary! Pete (Kunz) just forwarded your email to him and it surely was good to see you and hear you yodel. Happy holiday time and very best to you and Candice and Will.

Hi Gary!
Great to hear from you - we love the new CD, thank you! We are busy training the dogs for Iditarod 2010 in March and will be leaving for Montana the first week in January, then on to Alaska the middle of February. Lachlan will definately be entertained by your music on his IPOD during his 1100 mile journey across Alaska during the race! Check out our website: teamclarkeusa.com
Have a Merry Christmas Gary and thank you, thank you for being a part of our Cowboy/Cowgirl Camp!

Hey scary Gary,
Got the c.d. today , thanks. I listened twice all the way through, every song, something I never do- very cool. You have a real fine record on your hands my friend, glad to be a part of it! I'm sure it will get lots of airplay & great reviews, don't forget to get one to Rick Huff. You and Butch did a good job of mixing. I think "yodel song" is going to get folks talkin', nice interplay with Johns' guitar. Gordon plays beautiful on "Waiting for Spring" and others. The mastering sounds excellent. Your voice is mixed right out front where it should be, and your singin' is just great! Ernie and Tommy sound great also-so many interesting and cool things happening- the sax on "Okie Joe" sounds swampy as can be. Patty's vocals are just right throughout, I dig what she does on "Blue for You", gives it a nice jazzy feel. It's a real gem of a record all around Gary. Have fun at Heber, Mike

Dear Gary,
Congratulations on your new album! Every cut on it is a keeper. The harmony on the parts is esquisite - thanks Patty. Of course Okeechobee Joe is perfect... the new instramentals (sax) are great. I can't wait until Randy Barthle hears The Horse Trade; he may recognize the blue roan horse. I could go on an on about every song but i'll just sum it up by saying that this is a superb collection of great cowboy (and cowgirl Patty and Erin) music.
By the way the CD gets a little hot after 4 hours of non-stop play but it might be because of the "ranch residue" in my truck dash.

Gary,
I'm one of the cowboy's from Wyoming you talked to
at Heber City last week. I've been listening to your
new CD "Goin My Way ?" Man what great stuff.
I don't know if I can pick one as the best cut from
that CD.
I do like "Big Enough" probably a little better than
the rest. I great story and you perform it great. I'm
glad I got to see you do it live also.
Lots of variety on this CD. Your delivery is a pure
delight. This is one of my favorite CD's I ever purchased.
I can sure relate to a couple of these songs. Ghost Ranch,
Man I know a place just as this.
"Goodbye" cut me like a knife. I have a friend who fits
this to a T.I want him to hear it, but it's darn hard to
listen all the way through. I don't know how you got through
the recording of that piece. See You Down The Trail

I'll never forget the stories of your high school Senior class trip back East in '66 and how you BS'd a businessman on the train trip from NY city to DC about living in CO and the west, fighting off Indians and such.
Always wondered why you never wrote a song or poem about that.
