Bob Reuter and his legacy
After the death of Bob Reuter in 2013, Chris Baricevic and Big Muddy Records became executors of Reuter's estate, including his catalog of music and his photography. They were tasked with preserving his legacy and forming the Cowboy Angel Foundation. Big Muddy Records is working to re-issue Reuter's back catalog.
