Surrounded by the Northern Rockies' majestic beauty and rugged wilderness, songwriter Michael Shaw worked as a horseman and wilderness ranger in Western Montana for more than a decade. That unpredictable natural landscape—and the isolation that goes along with it—shapes his debut album, “He Rode On.”
