A musical journey with Juno Award winning artist, Gary Fjellgaard. Fjellgaard joins 44 covered wagons and 120 riders as they retrace part of the old Edson Trail in North Western Alberta. The CD "Grande Olde Ride" has a distinctive "cowboy flavor" and with the wagon trek images as a backdrop, it's an enjoyable, entertaining half hour. The trek was sponsored by the Alberta Bison Association and as they travel through herds of buffalo, the history of the species and the area is reviewed. Watching the program is like stepping back into time: a time of wagon treks and trail rides, pioneers and homesteaders.
