Surrounded by the majestic beauty and rugged wildness of the Northern Rockies, songwriter Michael Shaw worked as a horseman and wilderness ranger in Western Montana for more than a decade. That unpredictable natural landscape—and the isolation that goes along with it—shapes his debut album, He Rode On.
With a swagger in his vocal and a sharp eye for detail, Shaw brings authenticity to He Rode On, as everything he references on the album—from living off the land to cheating death—is rooted in the truth. Shaw’s captivating songwriting can be directly traced to his own experiences in the West, yet his stories are universal, whether he’s delivering a rowdy barroom anthem or a meditative song about the loss of a loved one.
In these days of forced—or at least, questionable—authenticity in the resurgence of “outlaw” country music, it doesn’t take too keen an eye to spot the real deal; Michael Shaw is it.
