He can shoe a horse, string a bob wire fence and bang out a Bob Willis classic on his flat top guitar. Cowboy poet, ex-veterinarian and sorry team roper, he has more hair around his lip than on his head. Raised in New Mexico, spent his workin' life in the mountain west tormenting cows, now he travels the country tormenting cowboys.

Since 1982, Baxter Black has been rhyming his way into the national spotlight, and now stands as the best selling cowboy poet in the world. He's written several books (including on rodeo novel and its sequel), recorded over a dozen audio and video tapes, CDs, and DVDs, and has achieved notoriety as a syndicated columnist, radio commentator, and more recently with his TV program "Out There" on RFD-TV. From the Tonight Show and PBS to NPR and the NFR, Baxter's wacko verse has been seen and heard by millions. His works are prominently displayed in both big city libraries and small town feet stores.

Everything about Baxter is cowboy; his cartoonish mustache, his personality and his poetry. He hasn't changed a thing about his subject matter or his delivery. He makes a living shining a spotlight on the flaws and foibles of everyday cowboy life, the day-to-day ups and downs of people who live with livestock. He demonstrates that it is the truth in his humor that makes it funny. Driven by a left hand sense of humor, Black evokes laughter just by being there.

This former large animal veterinarian can be followed nationwide through his column, National Public Radio, public appearances, television and also through his books, CDs videos and Web site,

So, in a nut shell (where some believe he may have evolved) there is considerably more to Baxter than just an entertainer. He is the real thing.
