What an absolutely great tune! I don't know who arranged the horns, but what terrific accent for a nostalgic cowboy song. The staccato bursts and smooth flowing trombones are so flavorful to the excellent vocal. Thanks for sharing!

Southern Rock meets Burt Bacharach - and I mean this as a compliment.

Southern Rock meets Contemporary Jazz....
