Bill Ramsel is a unique
performer who reaches for new understanding and appreciation of history
and our heritage. His songs are about the unique time in our history
from 1800 to 1840. Called the “Mountain Man Era” after the men who
populated the Rockies and the Eastern mountains, Ramsel’s music reflects
the life and times of these men of legend. He highlights the period of
great western expansion and the struggle for Texas independence.
His colorful phrasing and soulful mountain man ballads leave the
listener with the flavor of the period. These lively ballads
authentically reveal the life of the mountain man and the spirit of the
old western frontier.
Ramsel has three albums full of the music of his adopted era. A
historian at heart, his beautiful baritone voice and crisp guitar are a
joy to listen to for their pure entertainment value.
Anyone who listens to this music comes away with an intimate sense of
one of America’s most adventurous and exciting times. But that’s just
the half of it. Bill’s musical talents and gift for writing make this
music both beautiful and meaningful for any listener, regardless of
their level of interest in the times of the mountain men. Listen to
these albums and instantly be transported back to early 1800’s with the
mountain men of the era.
