Music legend Rooster Teagues plays a song from his new album 'Poor Like Me' on Great Plains Records. For 'Poor Like Me' Teagues has covered 10 classic country blues songs from rural Appalachia--each with his own distinctive spin. This song, "We Feast on Obeast" originated in Tennessee in the 1930's and describes the obeast's important role in the rural economy.

In July 2010 obeastologists Stanley Keen and Lucy Dwight captured and tagged their first male obeast. The data collected from the animal's gps collar has provided invaluable insight on the migratory and living habits of the endangered and reclusive North American Obeast.
