“Why We Cowboy” is Rik “Yonder” Goodell’s debut CD. These poems are an addictive, thought-provoking, trail of stories in rhyme. These are intimate, realistic, and authentic journeys reflecting the cowboy (and cowgirl) life that you’ll want to listen to over and over again. The themes are both historical and present-day, explanatory and sentimental in content. Bonus! This CD includes a 16-page, “Poetry Prologues” booklet describing the inspiration for each poem and a copy of the original art painting that helped bring it to life.

Steve Elrod –
Loved it!. Rik’s a great story teller. Excellent writing and Rik’s voice makes for a perfect presentation. Played it thru 4 or 5 times already and looking forward many more.
Bob & Barb Willard –
Have greatly enjoyed reading Rik’s poetry, but hearing it is so much better. His voice is perfect for the stories he tells. “Die First-Then Quit” was a favorite. His tales make you laugh, tear up and ponder.
Michael Rozell –
This collection of Rik’s poems was inspirational and thought provoking. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have heard his poems in his own voice. We ride for the same brand.

In the Winter Issue, 2023, Rick Huff wrote the following review of two CDS’s:
“Why We Cowboy” & “SaddleBorne Lessons” ….
[Yonder’s] poems come off as being
accurate, authentic and exceptionally
well crafted. Then there is his delivery
to consider. Goodell’s experience as
an actor serves him well. I have to say
he is one of the best interpreters of
verse I have ever encountered.
Frankly I am hard-pressed to name
specific “picks” from among his
gems, but I’ll try. First from “Why We
Cowboy” we’ll choose the title track,
“”Ridin’ For The Brand,” “Campfire
Schoolin,’” “Die First Then Quit,”
“The Cowboy Way” and “Handles &
Horse Thieves.” Then from “SaddleBorne Tales:” “Moose Ropin’,” “Gift
From A Lusty Holstein,” “Hearing
Gratitude” and the double-meaning
parable “The Wide and The Quick.”
His CD “Why We Cowboy” contains
an annotated booklet providing
backstories for that album’s works.
The other album offers no such guide.
Maybe Goodell took his own Harleyinspired advice “if I have to explain,
you wouldn’t understand!” But all
together, Goodell and his works are
a cut above in all departments. Both
CDs have fourteen tracks, both are
very highly recommended.
