The Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy

[ronws]

Slightly less airplay than "The Boys are Back in Town" And not covered like "Whiskey in the Jar."

But I like it. It has the word Texas in it.

I am not familiar with the original but the point here is not to compare.

I enjoyed the singing immensely, it was a joy from the beginning, I think that this piece really suits your

voice Ron. I liked how you go from low to high and your voice just flows, no sign of strain whatsoever.

Great singing

Cool. I suddenly caught myself sitting in a cowboy pub somewhere in Texas :cool:

[ronws]

Thanks, guys. And thanks, Thanos. It is has been my goal to have one seemless voice that sounds "easy."

Igor, you are welcome in Texas, any time. And I have two cowboy hats. You can borrow one.

Nice job on that one Ron. You've got great control over the song - I assume that was one take. Pitch was right on all the way through. Like Thanos said - no strain whatsoever. You're voice covers that range very well. I'm not familiar with that song either.

Ron,

VERY WELL DONE !!! I definitely "second" geno's and Thanos' comments !!!

As you know, I don't often comment on the songs as I mostly concentrate on the videos, but I couldn't help commenting on this (your song) !!! I really enjoyed it, not only the vocals, but the guitar as well....

Great job, my Friend !!! :cool:

PS Do I get a cowboy hat, too ??? :D

Ronws, Sorry I missed this when you first posted it.

It sounds as if you are getting more comfortable with the lower end. I liked it keep them coming.

Ron - that was great.

Irish Cowboys (their hats anyway) and made me recall this (spoof) TV news video from an Irish comedy show:

[ronws]

Give me a while I will have enough cowboy hats for everyone.

This is for you, Geno, since you were not familiar with the song. Thin Lizzy, an irish rock band doing a song about cowboys in Texas. Who'd have thought of it?

And thanks again, guys, for this is also affirmation that I am choosing the right material for my voice. And thanks, Adolph. Like you said, you usually only comment on videos, especially ones you can feature in the media site. So, for a simple acoustic song (yes, one take, playing guitar and singing at the same time, with the Zoom H1) to get some attention is way cool.

Anyway, the original.

[ronws]

That's priceless, George. Now, even I know what cowboy hats are for.

:lol:

Thanks for posting the original. After hearing that I think you really captured the spirit of the song. And that Zoom makes a decent recording.

[Chavie]

You have a great timbre man...

This is my favorite thing you have posted in recent memory...although i really liked your Darkness cover.

One of my biggest weakness is playing guitar and singing....... you seem to have that down though

I too am not familiar with the original

but again i really liked this

[ronws]

Thanks, Geno.

And Chavie, thank you. Since 1974, I have been playing guitar and singing at the same time. Back then, there was no digital recording software at home, no backing tracks you could download for a $1 USD. So, for a po' boy like me with no lessons, I had to learn the song on guitar and sing with that. It was the 1990's before I could afford a 4 track analog recorder, used, at a pawn shop. So, I am more comfortable with covers like this then full karaoke tracks. So, I have a list of songs like this that I can do with any guitar, mine or borrowed. And this one, I have done for probably 10 years, now and then. So, I guess, I already had some work into this song and it was a matter of just pressing record and let fly. As Felipe would say, get the performance worked out, and recording is an afterthought. almost.
