A great ride-along instrumental. It sounds like it could easily be turned into a rocking sung song. Thanks WaoBand for your comments, I had no ideas for a song, so I continued with the guitars. Laurent

You did a great job with all those tracks.
Excellent work by you and the session guys.
As floyd said, "rousing!"
The fine mix that would sound great as a TV series track.
Well done!
J&B Thank you very much Janice & Bud. Laurent

Four guitars is not a lot when each has a different role, and, man, you used them so well in this, Laurent. Love the sax, too. Such a good mix with so much to love in it. Hey, what about that video? Outstanding there, too, Laurent. You captured some of the best of teh West. Thanks Marty. I must have seen too many Westerns when I was little. Laurent

Nice instrumental rocker that plays very well with the fun video. Great powerful band and the mix is pleasant. The lead guitar sounds great and the sax supports well. Enjoyed the chord progression.

This would make great incidental music for a film. Excellent work putting all the pieces together, especially the guitars.

Many people gave me good comments about the song, so I thank: Torrey Bliss, Mike B, David Cuny, Rayc, Dave.
For Ray, I had asked the Indians to play the saxophone less loudly but they didn't want to know!

Laurent,
The video was very entertaining, just like an American Western movie from the 1950s and 60s.
I also thought the use of electric guitar and saxophone was great.
However, I felt that it was a bit out of place as background music for a Western.
Still, I think it's amazing that you could create such a wonderful video.
And It's great that you're trying out different genres of music.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki Adachi Thank you very much Shigeki. All this remains a great amusement for me. It is true that it is not really a western music but I liked to make the Indians and the undertakers play the saxophone. Laurent

There's some really nice guitar noodling, and you've done a pretty good job of fitting your own playing into all these real tracks.
Enjoyable and funny video as well.
