Horse Play
July 6th, 2009Drilling down through my list of songs to record or fix, I encountered Stolen Horses, the only outright Western I’ve ever written. Two years have lapsed between the original recording and this fix, which was actually a blessing. In those two years the recording studio software has been radically updated as has been my engineering know how.
So aside from rerecording the vocals completely (they still are substandard), this version of the song is merely a remix but several furlongs ahead of what preceded it.
Alas, unless I encounter the reincarnation of Waylon Jennings, this will likely be the last remix. The market for Western songs is slightly smaller than Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s soul and worth about as much. Should any other insane person ever contemplate assembling a CD of my lesser hits, this song will sadly be on it.
Shame. A tune about love, loss and homicide should be on everybody’s MP3 player.
