This eastern girl’s in need of some adventure
Tires singing to me on the highway
Those cool fall nights amid the timber
Dreaming ‘neath the Milky Way makes my heart sway

Time to get my frontier on
Time to get my frontier on
Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming
I hear you calling
And I’m moving on …I’m moving on

City lights fade from my rear view mirror
They morph into the silver moon and stars
I surrender to the aura and the mystery
Of a big sky, mountains, Jupiter and Mars

Time to get my frontier on
Time to get my frontier on
Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming
I hear you calling
And I’m moving on …I’m moving on

(Instrumental solo)
(repeat chorus)

Dreams come alive with every mile that I ride and I feel free
Black steel spinning spokes
Horses rumbling ‘neath me stokes
This fire in my soul

(repeat chorus and outro)

Terry and Jamie...

Man! talk about hittin' the ground running...

Cool song. Terrific vocal. Nice instrument selection. Excellent mix.

Nice opening!

A lot of folks here like to be able to see lyrics - and this song is well worth showing them off...

A great listen.

Hi Jamie and Terry,

Welcome to the forums smile

This is the first song I've listened to this morning in the Users Showcase and what a great way to start the day! "Time To Get My Frontier On" is incredibly well created, mixed and presented. A+ all the way!

Noel

This is a really great mix, fantastic vocals, with great balance in the mix.

Terry and Jamie,

The 1st 22 seconds of this threw my "rock" ears into confusion but as Jamie started to sing I thought WOW I am enjoying this. So I pressed replay and understood the intro a bit better.
Bluegrass was not my favourite genre but with songs like this I could easily become a convert!!

What a great song to start my day.

I look forward to more

Alyn

Hi Terry and Jamie,
So this seems too be the last new song off the year smile
Having read Alyns comments I listened twice. Your song is perfectly put together,mixing must have taken days and is very well done. Jamie, your voice is wonderful.
But with all that you have this bluegrass soul,that I, as a European, could never produce.
Well done, enjoyed it very much, happy New year !

I like it.

Hi Jamie and Terry.

This may be your first post here, but it's fairly obvious that you're not new to this game. Everything about this track points to years of experience in both song-writing and recording and the whole package just screams out "professional".

Like Alyn and Fred, I don't get exposed to a lot of Bluegrass this side of the Atlantic, but it doesn't mean that I can't appreciate how good this is. It's no surprise to me that my old pal Floyd likes this one and he has to be the expert on Country around the forum.

Really nice choice of RTs and a wonderful vocal by Jamie. Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff in the New Year.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

ROG.

Jamie's voice is great. An enjoyable listen.

WTG!!!

Great production in all aspects.

Happy New Year

Solid song and mix. Well sung, and I love Jamie's country wail.

Good title - an intriguing choice of language that made me want to listen and find out what the song was about. Nice inner rhymes and alliteration in the lyrics.

I especially love the lyric "surrender to the aura and the mystery".
