Floyd,
What a fun song! The music bed is the perfect vehicle for the lyrics! You did such a great job putting that band together! It would seem that Bill is a great collaborator! I could go on and on about your songwriting abilities because you just keep churning out one great song after another, year after year! I don't know how you do it! But don't ever stop!
Thanks, Torrey

The perspective is a cool narrative tool.
That swing thing works a treat and there's not much to offer but - very cool, great fun and well done.
Cheers

Tight and catchy tune!
Great vocals.
We particularly liked the bridge which was short but effective.

You write such fun stories, Floyd, then present them in such a catchy way. I like how the fiddle creeps in to take over. You bring in each instrument in the perfect way to strengthen the interest. What a great mix all through.

Thanks, Torrey. Yes, Bill is a good collaborator - a good lyricist - he understands prosody well and writes "fresh" and conversationally... I'm always fascinated by lyric guys who do not play an instrument at all... The perspective is a cool narrative tool.

The perfect backing band and mix as usual
I loved it

Hey Floyd ...
There's a lot of fun packed into 3-plus minutes. I noticed you co-wrote this with Bill Osofsky. He's a heckuva writer. And Bill's as great guy, too.
That swing always plays nice in my ears. I was tapping my foot (it's kin da hard to do the Texas two-Step when you're sitting, though) and smiling all the way. I love the simplicity of the song and arrangement. I also love songs that have a bridge when one is needed - not just thrown ibn because.
A real sweet listen! Best to you & yours.

Loved the groove on this song. A definite two stepper. Lyrics were very cool. Super vocal and the backing band was excellent. Super production...

Hi Floyd,
Another beauty!
Good song, well sung and I particularly liked the three choruses with different lyrics in each.
Best Regards

Hi Floyd and Bill,
What a fun song! Very well written and performed.
Loved how the fiddle comes in part way through the 2nd chorus and sticks around for the rest of the song, works a treat.
Listened a couple of times, enjoyed!

You have a really nice "two-stepper" there.
I just watched the Yellowstone series and this fit right in to the pictures in my mind.... although Jimmy ( in the series ) was a cowboy who needed to learn more than a few things about life.... most of it the hard way.
Great job on the mix, the music, and the song as a whole.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Floyd,
Love the country swing feel to this tune—the banjo was a great touch. Every aspect of this production is top-notch . . . as your tunes always seem to be. Outstanding!
My very best to you,
Deej

More classic delivery. I read the lyrics before I listened, not knowing how the accompaniment would sound. Wow, what a surprise. The lyrics are great. The combined total is little short of amazing.
Loved the breaks, and the entire versatility. Excellent.
