Here is my week 22 recording: Out Along the Western Sky
https://52tracksblog.com/2016/06/02/track-22-out-along-the-western-sky/EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT THAT INTERESTED IN THE MUSIC, please check out the photo by a friend of mine. Stunning.
If last week's song was grungy Neil Young, this week's is the folkier Neil.
I kept this arrangement simple. At one point I had piano, organ, fiddle, and pedal steel RTs on the track but stripped it down to RT bass and drums. I played banjo-guitar and a baritone wood-bodied resonator guitar.
Thanks for listening.

Out Along the Western Sky Out along the Western Sky
Crows and wolves pass on by
Whispered words like cottonwood
Blow away misunderstood
Trees have roots that hold them true
Straight-line wind can drop them too
Wishing I had said goodbye
Out along the Western Sky
Out along the Western Sky
Two half-truths make a lie
I have walked the King’s Highway
With righteous pilgrims led astray
Dust and thunder play duets
I’m so close I’m not there yet
Wishing I had said goodbye
Out along the Western Sky
Out Along the Western Sky
The softest thoughts amplify
Fallen idols cast about
Planting fields with seeds of doubt
Cut myself on common sense
Against the grain of coincidence
Wishing I had said goodbye
Out along the Western Sky
Out Along the Western Sky
Shadowed hands mark my eyes
Bloodied moon black-eyed sun
Countdown days have just begun
Fellow travelers in my heart
Look for things to take apart
Wishing I had said goodbye
Out along the Western Sky
Wishing I had said goodbye
Out along the Western Sky
