Spirits Still Remain
Cowboy Music and Poetry
Mike Moutoux
Released 2008

New Mexico's Enchanting Cowboy is Mike Moutoux. This CD is packed with the Heart of the West, words to chew on ponder, and digest. The title track, Spirits Still Remain, has been archived by the National Park System in a time capsule after he performed it for the 100th Anniversary of the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument.

Spirits Still Remain
There are places tucked away from the sun and wind and rain
Where the homes are long abandoned but the spirits still remain
They say that when the moon is full and the wind lies calm
You can sense the presence of a people now a long time gone

I've seen the art that someone pecked into the varnished rock
Found the broken shards of painted vases, bowls and maybe pots
Peered through windows into rooms where children played
Stood outside the kivas where they say the people prayed...
