My Blood

            I wrote the cowboy song and now I’m recording it. It’s called My Blood. I went into the studio with an acoustic guitar part and words and true to form, I improvised an electric guitar part with a Fender Telecaster played through a Vox guitar amp. There’s a wicked sound to it. It’s kind of spooky in a way. 

            I had the intention of trying to avoid the cliche cowboy sound, but I’ve learned that the cowboy song has a will stronger than my intentions. It just came out and I can’t rightfully reject what the cosmos give me. I suppose I could and I have in the past, but in this instance the part I came up with is unique enough to keep. I’m looking forward to adding some bass and some more guitar parts. It should be a pretty good tune when it’s all said and done. It would be nice if it found a home in a western.
