Feb 2022 live one-take country
Actual song to be written and performed live on XRPRADIO.CO.UK around midnight on 3rd March
This ended up being a tale of one of my mate John's player characters from back when we used to play Legends Of The Old West, an excellent tabletop skirmish game. He insisted in playing him in character as an irredeemable drunk, and yet somehow always won anyway.
I love this TBH, and i'm a bit irked that it didn't come till fawm was over, and nobody will hear it XD
Let me tell you a legend of the old west
A long rider called ASBO abrahams
When it came to getting leathered he was the best
Pour him a measure he could drink it fast
He drank em fast Chrous!
The sun was going down when the gang rode into town
Sherriff ASBO was already 5 drinks in
He could barely keep himself from falling down
The townsfolk were repenting for their sins
He drank em Fast
Asbo wandered around in a drunken haze
Relieved himself against a withered tree
What he saw as he let fly did sure amaze
The bandits snuck where they thought he didnt see
Even though he was cooked he could still shoot
Whiskey did not steal his accuracy
He drank em fast
He shot em fast
The luckiest son of a bitch in the old west

Love the little details, like pissing against a withered tree. The people crowded into the church thinking it was their end. A real old fashioned cowboy movie in a few verses. APPLAUSE

This is a great song, you captured the atmosphere pretty well! Really nice vocals and I love the different ways you play the guitar.

I'm impressed with what you're able to accomplish with just voice and guitar. Epic.

Right on! Fun little story, but it feels like there was a missed opportunity for some wordplay with the different types of shots in here. This would be awesome to hear with a full band.

Love the way the guitar alternates the more percussive and resonant parts. Kind of a funny story. I'm picturing that guy relieving himself, wasted but still capable
