BIO:
Patty Clayton has been praised for possessing a “voice as pure as the prairie wind,” a fitting description for an artist whose music embodies the spirit, history, and living heartbeat of the American West. A descendant of Oregon Trail pioneers who settled and ranched in the Pacific Northwest, Patty was raised in the West, where the land, its stories, and its people became the foundation of her artistry.

As a performing songwriter, Patty brings her own distinctive brand of Western music to the forefront, blending original Buckaroo ballads with carefully chosen traditional songs that honor both the present and the past of western America. Her crystal-clear vocals and thoughtful interpretations have captivated Western and Folk audiences for decades, both as a solo artist and as the frontwoman of her band, Cimarron Wind.

Renowned for her exceptional sense of harmony, Patty has been frequently sought out for collaborations with a wide range of respected artists, including Jill Jones and the Lone Star Chorale, Liz Masterson and Sean Blackburn, as well as solo performers Dave Stamey, Gary McMahan, Nancy Thorwardson, and Juni Fisher. She has also served as the exclusive opening act for iconic Western figures such as Baxter Black in Colorado, Ian Tyson in Colorado, and Don Edwards in Iowa.

Beyond the stage, Patty’s songwriting has reached the world of film. Independent Los Angeles–based company Maelstrom LLC licensed one of her original songs for the 2018 feature film The Spearhead Effect, a gripping psychological crime thriller. Her achievements have been recognized by the International Western Music Association and the Academy of Western Artists, earning honors including Female Performer of the Year, Western Swing CD of the Year, and Female Vocalist of the Year. Most recently, Patty received the Red Carpet Award in Europe for Best Native American Style Single for her composition “Wolf Moon,” further affirming her enduring impact on Western music.

Chorus:
So Many Cowboys! So little rope
I need a bigger lariat to rope me some hope
To catch me a cowboy, to call my own
but there’s so many cowboys and so little rope

vs1
Scrawny, muscled, fat or bald, oh the choices that I see
I’ll build my loop and swing it wide to catch one running free
One long rope is all I need to catch one that I crave
Might take some time to settle him and see how he behaves!

Chorus

Vs 2
Our eyes will meet we’ll take a breath, there’s hope for this ol’ gal
Of all the cowboy’s that I’ve seen, I’ll drag him from this corral
This rodeo has been a kick especially for me
My lasso caught him on the fly, I’m happy as can be!

Chorus
