Every great artist and most of the horrible ones have some kind of "shtick" when starting out. This bit of cowtown tribute is better than most:
A Self-Proclaimed 'Country Kanye West,' This Kansas City Writer Honors Black Cowboys
Trae Q.L. Venerable is a lot of things: a horseman, a houndsman, a writer and an educator, for sure. But foremost, he's a real-life cowboy who doesn't fit the image found in most western movies or in country music.
Good - hopefully he'll emphasize the Kansas connections of Nat Love.
