When Juni Fisher was still in college, she was given a book about early rodeo cowgirls, and became fascinated with their stories: women who rode saddle broncs, bulldogged, roped and tied steers, relay raced, and carved out their own piece of history. In 2006, while performing during the Pendleton Round-up rodeo in Pendleton, OR, a panoramic photo of 100 finely dressed, mounted cowgirls lined up in front of a train, as they arrived in Pendleton for the 2011 Round-up sparked another quest for their stories. Other photos of the legendary, but seldom awarded saddle bronc rider, Nez Perce Indian Jackson Sundown (he was the nephew of Chief Joseph) on display at Hamley's Slick Fork Saloon, brought a flood of stories for every question. She was hired in early 2007 for a series of concerts during the 2010 Pendleton Round-up, the rodeo's centennial, and when asked if there might be a special song in the works for the events, she replied "Song? There will be a whole ALBUM." Word filtered out amongst the historians and fans of the Round-up, and people came forward with more stories, some of them little known. Folk Singing/ song writing legend Ian Tyson (Four Strong Winds, Someday Soon, Navajo Rug) came forward with information about a yet unreleased song, by song writing great Danny O'Keefe (Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues) that chronicled Jackson Sundown's history and history making ride in Pendleton in 1916. As the stories came together, and as Fisher sorted through some 1000 photos of early rodeo performers, read their letters, articles, and even found living eye witnesses to some of the events that shaped rodeo in the 1920's, the songs began to take shape for this monumental album. It's release in mid March, 2010 was met with a wave of pre orders from fans and retail stores. Word had gotten out that Fisher was once again doing a historical album , and based on the success of her previous history piece, "Gone For Colorado" in 2008 (That album was awarded Western Music's highest award, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum's Wrangler Award, for most outstanding Western Album of 2008, and the Western Music Association's Album of the Year Award in 2009) folks knew that the next project, too would yield a winning collection of stories and songs. An seldom seen photo of saddle bronc rider Bonnie McCarroll inspired the cover art, enhanced by Idaho artist Janene Grende's northwest inspired border art. The Pendleton Round-up committee happily licensed their trademarked phrase "Let 'er Buck" to Juni for use as part of the title. Since starting the album project, Fisher has been involved in several other early rodeo related projects, including doing the narration for an upcoming film called "Oh You Cowgirl" which will be released in 2010. Fisher's love and respect for the true heroes of the arena, from celebrated bronc riders to the lowly rodeo pickup horse, shines through in sometimes funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and always delightful "Let 'er Go, Let 'er Buck, Let 'er Fly"
