    🏜 ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A FUN FRIDAY EVE OUT ON THE TOWN IN OLE` MOAB?

    COME RELAX IN THE BACK OF BACK OF BEYOND BOOKS ~ TOMORROW, MAY 9TH AT 7PM ~ FOR AN EVENING JAM SESSION 🎸 WITH WESTERN-COUNTRY SINGER/SONGWRITE ROGER RAMSEY OF THE SMOKEY HILLS OF TENNESSEE!!

    Roger Ramsey is a western-country songwriter based out of Southwest Virginia, by way of the Northeastern riverlands. His songs echo the bygone era of true frontiersmen, encapsulating life at the foot of the Rocky Mountains through rose-colored tones and vaquero traditions. Understated, timeless stories are translated into gentle ballads that speak freely– to those on the open range and within the concrete jungle, alike. While living life on the highway– working as a busker, a chuckwagon cook, and a ranch hand – Ramsey shared his music and collaborated with acts like Amythyst Kiah , Jon Langston , Camp Howard , Adam Bolt and Boy Named Banjo. Now, as a Troubadour of the American West, he seeks to share these stories with others through his guitar and his voice.

    This week’s featured item from our rare department is a signed copy of Raven’s Exile by award-winning nature writer Ellen Meloy (1946-2004). It is the first printing of the Owl Book trade paperback edition and it is in very good condition with a bit of wear and toning. Raven’s Exile was Meloy’s debut title and it remains out of print and can be tricky to find, especially signed.

    The book chronicles a back-country river ranger season spent rafting on the Green River. It shares Meloy’s keen observations about the region’s unspoiled beauty and the threats posed by human meddling. According to Terry Tempest Williams, “Raven’s Exile is an exuberant, smart, irreverent, and loving account of one woman bearing witness in Desolation Canyon.”

    Raven’s Exile $200

    Please inquire for more details!
