everybody loves a good old cowboy song..... right?

THIS..... this is the reason I bought BB all those many years ago. I wanted a good steel guitar.

I debated on whether to play guitar on this and decided to only play the acoustics..... two of the,m panned wide and low..... this was destined to be a steel guitar song. Fills are mostly mandolin.

The band is

Bass 2915
Drums Blues rock even
I kept the BB guitars and lowered the levels.... 2904 & 2930
Steel 2883
B3 686 ( I tend to use this one a lot)
Mando 3149
I'm on the Taylor acoustic. Double tracked and wide.
There's 5 tracks of vocals. Lead... down the center, doubled on the sides and low, and 2 harmonies down with the doubles.

Enjoy

High Sierra

And the lyrics.... just finished them in the middle of the vocal recording.....It hit me.... Oh wait.... these are better words....(in the chorus)

When the sun comes up tomorrow I'll be leaving
another crowd 200 miles away
this old rodeo, it's in my blood and in my veins
One day it might even be the death of me.

Cowboys aren't the kind that like to settle down
we always have some other place to be
Sunrise on a mountain top , or a starry sky at night
It really doesn't matter as long as we 're living free

High Sierra,
Where a man can know what it feels like to be free
High Sierra,
Where the evening breeze is blowing through the trees

solo

I've been way too long living in a city
I need to see the tumble weeds again
A campfire in the night, man that's such a sight
I gotta be where the wind is blowing free

High Sierra,
Where a man can know what it feels like to be free
High Sierra,
Where the evening breeze is blowing through the trees
