Hi all. Just a fun tongue-in-cheek ballad.
All comments welcome

The Outlaw


-The Outlaw-
Key C Bpm 80 Duratrion 02:48

Verse 1:

He was an outlaw on the run
From the law and everyone

Chorus
He rode across the plains

On a horse with firey maine
So that journeys never done.


Verse 2:

Move about, like a rolling stone
Most of his life spent all alone

He was a wanderer, a gunslinger
With an itchy trigger finger

Winter winds chilled him to the bone

Bridge**********

Chorus
He rode across the plains

He battled fire and rain
So that journeys never done.

Verse :3

He left behind a trail of tears
For the ones that held him held dear

Had a bounty on his head
Left behind woah and dred

He never soften through the years

Chorus
He rode across the plains

On a horse with firey maine
So that journeys never done.

His nightmares still remained.
Would never be the same
So the battles never won.

Hi, Robert.

Nice backing tracks. Vocals and harmonies are genre perfect.

You described it as "tongue-in-cheek", which I assume refers to the long list of cliches. But given that's the myth of the Western lone gunslinger, it's perfect for this song.

Fun listen! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

COOL and cool.
My only thought would have been to use a baritone tremolo and reverb heavy lick rather than the gritty one...more Spaghetti Western.
BUT
It works 100% as is...well done yet again.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Man, from this cool song I an see the whole movie, Rob. Very cool mix and your vocal nails it. It has an appropriate gallop to the feel. Definitely a movie I'd watch again and again. Fun song.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Rob,

Yeah, I like this one a lot—cool, classic country vibe, but with an edge. Love the gritty vocal. Great production elements all through. Excellent!

All my best to you,

Deej

Rob, I like it. The real tracks you use are perfect for the genre. There can never be too many cowboy songs. Excellent vocal and production,Tom

What a gem, Rob. Rich vocals and a fine band.

We could see Jeff Bridges in the title role of the outlaw.

Cool!
