Pinto Ranch is thrilled to announce it's releasing its own private-label, handmade leather boots! The store's YY Brand boots are debuting at its Houston location this week. Walter Pye, owner of Pinto Ranch, wants to offer customers a wider, greater selection of boots:
"The number of handmade boot manufacturers has dwindled during recent years, and we wanted to offer customers something they can't find anywhere else. We see this as the next evolution of handmade boots."
Pinto Ranch will still carry other quality boot brands, but the YY Brand will distinguish the store from other boot retailers.

Cluttered Corner Concert Series
Brought to You by Texas Music Chart
texasmusicchart.com/pages/cca
The Cluttered Corner is exactly that--a corner in the Best in Texas Music Magazine offices that serves as a stage when artists stop by to visit.
The corner's "clutter" grows with each visit from an artist, each of whom performs hit singles while in the Cluttered Corner, as well as donates a special memento. For example, Bleu Edmondson left his favorite Texas Rangers baseball cap, Bri Bagwell left her stage clock, and the Eli Young Band left a signed whoopee cushion!
Be sure to check out videos of Cluttered Corner performances, too!
