Well call me a big ignoramus but i don't know what a toreador is. Souns like something that you might get served along side a taco or something. I'm guessing i'm in the right area as it does have an air of "Desperado" (brilliant movie with Antonio Banderes)
Everything has gelled together niceley unlike the hole in the wall i just made attempting to do some D.I.Y.
Really like the vibe of this piece, are you using metal buckets for the persussion? It's very inventive.
I'm glad i dropped in for this as it's a great style and i think you should do more like this.

The fool huh? I'm absolutlely flattered that you took time out to write a song about me.
So far it's not sounding very foolish. I'm getting scenes of an old wild west town, sitting in the saloon bar chugging a beer (or ten)
The production on this is crystal clear, sounds like you just restrung your guitar and that harmonica is sweet.
As always..........SPOT ON!!!

Wow, nice stuff. So reminiscent of Ennio Moriconne. Mandolins are an extra surprise here. Keep up good work.

love the guitars in this and the whole vibe about the song is great. really nice work.

nice. Believe it or not I am going to try and turn this into a hip hop track. I'll post it on looperman if I am successful.

Thank you very much, Wayne! If the video ever goes viral (which I frankly doubt) and money is made out of it (even greater doubts, be sure you'll get your percentage ;-)

Thanks also for promoting the movie. I did it for my kid and it seems a little nephew is now enjoying it, so I guess I already reached my objective.

Keep up the good work (I for sure will continue to enjoy it) !

Greetings from Belgium!

This track really makes you feel good....

I took the liberty of adding it as background music for a little animated movie I made for my kid a couple of years ago. I only just now uploaded it to youtube, you can find it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSQf2uGuTzk

I credited you of course. But if you don't want the track to be used, send me one short message and I'll take it offline immediately.

Kind greetings.

Great track.
Amazing guitars, very goo work!

Hey - good reply. The noise isn't too big a deal here. I just tend to point this sort of thing out in reviews in case the person making it hasn't noticed.

I've uploaded tracks that had a really obvious need for some parts to be EQd and noise removed but no one said a thing! So I tend to point it out as I know in the past I've been in denial about it and other problems being there.

Anyway, you will definitely want to check out Calexico - excellent group. I'd recommend the albums Black Light and Feast Of Wire and make a friendly bet that you will love them.

As regards you writing "a lot of Latin/spaghetti western/southwestern styles of music", my music theory and knowledge of harmony or chords is awful. I've never studied any Asian or Middle Eastern music but it comes out quite naturally in me. I think it's when I start doing semitone or tritone stuff - to stop it being discordant or too evil-sounding I find the notes that seem to work and that often comes out as Eastern sounding.

Maybe, somehow, there's something you do that makes the Latin/spaghetti western/southwestern naturally come out. Not sure if that's using A minor. Probably something else as well.

Anyway, cool track so keep it up.

sounds dm good to me Wayne....def western vibe but with that blues feel....there is something to be said about keeping the mixes basic/a bit sparce (something I forget to do often)...it sure does let each instrument play its part effectively in the mix....and you have a nice clean mix going here....great job....Ed

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you're a big fan of Calexico. I am too.

I don't really think of this track as blues - more the Calexico kind of western/desert/Mexican/Spanish kind of atmospheric, moody and melodic vibe.

Definitely perfect soundtrack music for any sort of Western or anything set in a North American desert. Or could be fun to use this on a soundtrack for an American or Mexican travelling in an African or Asian desert.

Cool guitar and simple movement of the drums. Only complaint is that there's too much noise on the track. Maybe you could find a way to remove it. But the noise doesn't interfere too much with the enjoyment of the piece as I can still hear everything clearly.

I hear this coming out of From Dusk Till Dawn. Very clear and tasty leads, like it a lot. Your backlog is about to be raided after the last few things I've heard from you.
Diggin it.

Cool stuff. Great bass tone. You can really hear the buzz of those strings.

While this is only just over a minute, there's a lot in it becomes it's very busy and doesn't bother with any introductions or breaks (though the one pause is nice) so it feels kind of rushed. So, bit like an interlude on an album.

Or maybe more like an interlude on a TV series with lots of fast cut moving activity going on. Could definitely be effective used that way.

Acoustic instruments are all really well recorded and played on this one. Nice reverb on mandolin and classical guitar. Can't fault their production.

Well done!

Wayne...agree with Evan, this is soundtrack music from the first class...I imagine an American-Spanish-Mexican cooperation with Tarantino, of course...fantastic atmosphere flying around this small 3 minutes...

Awesome track, was good to listen it, Danke

This very much sounds like it came from Desperado, or Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The whole thing is great, but I like the intro the most. The sounds of preparation, always a nice addition.

Evan

Love the guitar especially since I created a track with all guitars in it, the use of the harp is very nice too. Something to add to my play list in the car I think.

I like this. I particularly like the guitar. It could have been just that guitar, by itself, and still have been just as powerful. That's my opinion anyhow. Thank you for giving us this.

Very chill track. Kind of reminded me of something that could be played on an old cowboys guitar sitting around a fire out in Oklahoma.

Descriptive, I know.

- Artful One

its nice, clean and catchy! drums would sound good with this

Very nice Wayne, love the laid back almost haunting feel to this track. Great job!!

Kyle

Delicate, tender, nostalgic and poetical . I loved listening to your track that sort of drives the heart back to the essential and the genuine .
Thank you very much for this peaceful and very pleasant moment, Wayne .
Cheers,
Carole

Nice Track, it was very heady to listen into it.

this is good!

the one or the other here mentioned it before - i've got this ennio morricone moment while listening to your song...dusty road - saloon doors swinging - stranger riding through town - mothers take their kids away from streets and so on...;-)nice 1
