There are hints of some of the songs from the Eagles "Desperado" album. The only style change was to add a RT Bluegrass Soloist Fiddle for some balance to the Resonator Guitar, which we showcased as the lead instrument in the final mix. Harmonies courtesy the TC Helicon VL3X.

Now I'm not claiming that all that's true I wasn't there so I can't say But Grandma told me, now I'm telling you That's how it happened...back in their day BIAB 2018 ULTRA https://soundcloud.com/bob-buford https://www.youtube.com/user/hawgly https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/bob.buford

There isn't a thing I'd change - the vocals are on point, the arrangement is superb, and it is the ideal level of catchy-ness I like the lyrics too! They paint a picture very well. Thank you for sharing, you should be proud of this! Cheers, Deryk
