Indeed. But before getting to the cowboys, revered painter Nathan Oliveira talks about a lifetime of painting and his search for fundamental man. It's one of our best interviews, ever. Shifting gears, we meet the legendary African-American cowboy and singer/songwriter, Jim Brooks via this amazing interview. Ranch boss Doug Groves talks about the fine craft of rawhide braiding.
