In Their Words: “’High & Mighty’ is a Saskatchewan saddle bronc song written by Lewis Martin Pederson III. LMP hails from around Abbey, Saskatchewan, not far from where I grew up. He’s known for rodeoing, his poetry, and in the ’70s he put out three great records (that I know of). Saddle bronc riding is my favourite rodeo event and upon hearing Pederson’s album Rodeo No.1 Sport, I immediately knew I wanted to cut it on a record.” — Colter Wall
