Hey Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky? by Baxter Black

These low-humored, high-spirited adventures are related in breathless, exclamatory prose that proves more exhausting than edifying, making this a potential treat for rodeo rats only. Meanwhile, Lick goes for the championship ride of his life but pays for it with a broken collarbone. Two years after he won the average at the Las Vegas National Rodeo Finals by riding Kamikaze, the worlds most unridable bull, Lick is down on his luck. Ten years after the publication of Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky Black revisits the wild and woolly world. When Cody's new love affair goes awry, Lick helps out as best he can by getting his pal drunk and marrying him to a Butterball turkey. Both Lick and Cody need girlfriends, but each must choose carefully from among the available women on the circuit since many are still angry at the pair for past encounters and some are out simply to rob them. He wrote over 30 books of poetry, fiction both novels and children's literature and commentary, selling over two million books, CDs, and DVDs. Though the narrative nominally concerns the pair's quest to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo (``the Superbowl of rodeo'') in Oklahoma City, that premise, as Black readily admits, merely allows for a picaresque series of rough-riding, rough-drinking and rough-womanizing exploits set along the rodeo circuit. Baxter Black (Janu June 10, 2022) was an American cowboy poet and veterinarian. Lick and Cody are two rodeo cowboys who specialize in roughstock events, especially bull riding. This comedy about life on the rodeo circuit may please fans of Black's 10 volumes of ``cowboy poetry'' or of his syndicated column, ``On the Edge of Common Sense,'' but it likely will perplex the rest of the reading public.
