Show Chuck Pyle the "Zen Cowboy'' lAMA is pleased to present Chuck Pyle. As 'Colorado' as the Rockies, singer/songwriter Chuck Pyle has won the unqualified respect and praise of peers and fans for 30 years. Referred to affectionately as the Zen Cowboy, Pyle wraps his infectiously hummable melodies with straight-fromthe- saddle poetry, quoting bumper stickers, proverbs, world leaders and old cowboys at his shows. When reviewers first gave him the Zen Cowboy label, he decided to, as he says, "ride the horse in the direction it's going", and took his new nickname to heart. Shaving his head and blending upbeat spirituality with horse sense, Pyle began writing songs about forgetful cowboys, heroic highway patrolmen and brainstems gone 'critical'. Pyle's songs have been by Suzanne Millsaps recorded by John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Suzy Bogguss. His flair for words and melody has made him a favorite of Bill ,.........,.___,...._________ & Melinda Gates, who've had him play at their house. Among Country fans, he's probably best known for writing, "Cadillac Cowboy", recorded by the late Chris LeDoux, and "Jaded Lover," recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker. Pyle's groundbreaking guitar playing enhances his performances. He travels the world, taking what is best about America with him, playing theaters, festivals, colleges, coffeehouses and house concerts. Now he brings his unique sound and intelligent lyrics to Utah, playing on Friday, September 22, at 7:30 pm at a venue to be determined (please check www.iamaweb.org for location). Tickets are available in advance at Acoustic Music, Local Music and Orion's, or at the door.
