Cowboys & Indians Magazine Launching RFD-TV Series with Singer-Storyteller Red Steagall

HOUSTON, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Cowboys & Indians, The Premier Magazine of the West, takes pride in presenting "In the Bunkhouse," a new half-hour television series showcasing Red Steagall, America's favorite cowboy singer and storyteller. The "cowboy variety" show premieres Nov. 4 on the RFD-TV network, where it will air Wednesdays at 1 and 11 p.m. EST.

"I call the show 'cowboy variety,'" Steagall says, "because that's what it is, the best in all things cowboy - music, interviews, poetry, chuck wagon cooking, and a little bit of good old American wisdom in every episode."

Each week, Steagall promises, "I'll share coffee with the men and women who keep our beloved cowboy culture alive." Veteran actor Barry Corbin - whose film and TV credits include "Lonesome Dove," "Urban Cowboy," "No Country for Old Men," "Northern Exposure" and the forthcoming "That Evening Sun" - will appear on the Nov. 4 premiere episode. Future "Bunkhouse" guests include Robert Fuller ("Laramie," "Wagon Train") and James Drury ("The Virginian").

Steagall, host of the syndicated radio show "Cowboy Corner" and long-time columnist for Cowboys & Indians, is the official Cowboy Poet of Texas. He has performed as a singer and musician for more than four decades, touring at least 200 days every year. More than 200 of his songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Dean Martin, Roy Clarke and Ray Charles.

"In the Bunkhouse" is produced at USFR Media Group's Houston-based television station, KTBU/Channel 55. "We are very pleased with the high level of quality achieved in this production," says Gregory L. Brown, publisher of Cowboys & Indians. "And it is even more gratifying to be celebrating the cowboy lifestyle in this exceptional television series."

Cowboys & Indians, The Premiere Magazine of the West, celebrates all elements of the Western lifestyle. Each issue features celebrity interviews, along with articles on Western fashion and collectibles, Old West history, Western art, travel, fine dining, film and Native American art and culture.

Now in its tenth year of broadcasting, RFD-TV is the nation's first 24-hour television network dedicated to serving the needs and interests of rural America. The channel currently is distributed to over 40 million homes worldwide by DBS and cable systems including DISH Network, DirecTV, Comcast, Time-Warner and over 600 independent rural cable systems.
