Soundcloud link: Buckaroos - by Bob BufordBuckaroos is an original song by Bob Buford, Producer, Summertown Recording Studios, Colorado. This song is about growing up with Western music and eventually performing with the Western group, The Lazy B Wranglers, Estes Park, CO. But it's not a Western song, merely about the influences of that genre, the cowboy life, and the experience of being a Western singer. I'm not a cowboy although I did have a horse when I was a kid. The arrangement starts out with all acoustic instrumentation and advances to a much fuller production with electric instruments and drums, including a House Techno drum loop for drive. Hard to imagine that working, but it does. All vocals and baritone electric guitar are my own performances. This production uses multiple RealTracks exports from BIAB to Reaper in order to include all of the necessary instrumentation required for the song. See below. Thanks for listening, Bob Technical Info: Key=D , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=4:36 8 bar intro, 127 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 135. Repeat x1 chorus Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _INSPIRE.STY (Inspire Cheery Indie Pop) All RealTracks. Quintet.

Bob,
This is terrific to listen to. It sounds great on my system. I really like the touch of nostalgia that you've managed to capture in the arrangement and performance... very skilfully done indeed. You definitely know how to write a good song!
Regards, Noel

Bob, I was very impressed with this delivery.
Great clear vocals, and a really impressive melody.
I believe that you've brought together a really perfect mix of instruments here, this is just so well done.

Hey Noel...
How's things way down there? Thanks for your nice comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.
Gotta say this is exactly the kind of project BIAB is made for. I wrote this song a little over a week ago on Nov 9 and completed production and posted it to my Facebook page on Nov 16. Had I been using a commercial studio I'd still be trying to book time and line up players.
Man, this was fun. Thanks for listening, Bob

VT, thanks for the nice comments. I didn't realize when I chose this style that I would use all the instrumentation it included. Actually I'm not sure how I found the style since my subsequent searches in the Stylepicker didn't bring it up. But regardless, I ended up using all the instruments and adding others. Strange how that works out sometime, eh? In the end a really fun project.
Thanks for listening, Bob

Magical stuff Bob. How perfect is that tremolo guitar chord, what a hook! A lovely haunting song beautifully produced, and sung with a feeling.

Everything sure came together good on this one. The vocals and BGV's are exceptional. Top notch arrangement and mix. Enjoyed this one a lot. Looking forward to your next one soon.

A good listen, Bob. The first couple of tremolo chords hit a bit loud on my speakers, it settles in later on, as it goes. Nice write and vocal. Captured the "cowboy song" well.

Really excellent stuff, Bob. That baritone guitar sounds unreal, too. Would be great to see the lyrics for this one! I think I hear that techno line, too -- it comes in at 2.55-ish, right? Just like you said it's hard to imagine that working but it sure does

Hi Bob, You have done a great job here, as others have stated, creating a hauntingly beautiful sound. I like the way you had the instrumentation building as the song went along. Take care, Torrey.
