Wow. It's been a year since Route 66.

Wish I could perform at the Tumbleweed Music Festival

Working my new music/video. I will present it soon.

In Memphis

Hanging out on Beale Street, sort 'a.

The video artistry of Mr. Jason Lee will be featured in my upcoming music video for IN MEMPHIS (written and produced by Cody Melville).  I look forward to posting this new song this week.

Latest song...

More Dresden Cowboy songs coming soon...

The video for BROKEN WINGS is complete and Michael Madill is currently finalizing the sound mix on that one.  Cody Melville is at work on the mix for IN MEMPHIS.  I have completed recording on two of my own songs - ON THE CONCRETE, and ANGEL SING - which, Julien and I will be performing a final mix upon my return from a weekend tour of Dallas.

Recorded with David Wichcombe today on my new studio system.  He laid down some amazing guitar tracks for my song ON THE CONCRETE.  Next, Julien and I come up with solid mix on that song, then, video, then we post it right here.  I look especially forward to posting this song, since, it was written many years ago and will soon/finally be available for the discriminating rock and roll earbone!

Edward Donnelly preforms in the Broken Wings video

Here's a great photo pulled from the upcoming Dresden Cowboy music/video for the Jason Peirce song BROKEN WINGS.  It's another well produced piece of music by the team of Mike and Ed, and it's nice to finally get Ed into one of the videos!

Edward Donnelly on set of Broken Wings Video

Worked with Edward Donnelly today on the upcoming music video for another Jason Peirce song, produced by the amazing team of Michael Madill and Edward Donnelly - Broken Wings. I have one day of production left, next Monday... Thank you Ed for your great work on set today. Now, at least, it can be said that there will be one good looking cowboy in this music video.

The Fallout from my super hero cowboy...

The Fallout from my super hero cowboy costume, and Cody's amazing song THE COOL CATS WILL CALL, has been fantastic.  The video was well received.  The outfit, complete with blue feather, is now hung in my closet awaiting the moment that a bull-legged, dressed up, singing cowboy is needed to save the day on Hollywood Boulevard.  I begin production on the Broken Wings video next week...  I'm also in process of finishing up a song that I am co-writing with Jason Peirce titled Angel Sing (which my son is slated to produce), and, Cody Melville is cooking up another song possibility for me as well.  Oh, and I've dusted off my old Ensoniq keyboard workstation.  It needs a soldering job - then I will pull sequenced tracks for a song I wrote many years ago and get that one off the Mike and Ed for, yet, another marvelous arrangement.  Good days indeed for the Dresden Cowboy!  God Bless.

Cowgirl Kimmy Asks...

Cowgirl Kimmy, a professed Dresden Cowboy fan, writes... "Hey, love your work Cowboy - I'm always looking for hidden meanings and the "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" seems perfect for your song The Cool Cats Will Call.  But it gives me more than one way of thinking.  Can you tell me how the video relates?




Well Cowgirl Kimmy... I looked at The Cool Cats Will Call (written and produced by Cody Melville) as being about how pursuing fame will make your heart empty and head full of distracting nonsense - at least, if you are prone to analyze.  So the line "story books heroes are looking like a couple friends of mine" gave me the idea that super heroes were the easiest way to illustrate that understanding to the contemporary Disney/Hollywood super fueled attraction to Marvel, and other-like fantasy characters. The plastic hot police mannequin is intended to represent the vapid relationships which comes with the fallout of fostering a delusional fame driven ego. By design, these videos have a retro feel, so, I am hoping to invoke a bit of nostalgia reminiscent of the early days of MTV.  I would add, in particular, on this video I experience a huge degree of surreal fun.  

Yee-haw, sayeth the Dresden Cowboy!

Broken Wings

Sent vocal tracks to L.A. producers Mike and Ed. They've put together a compelling arrangement for my version of, yet, another Jason Peirce song titled Broken Wings. I expect to begin production on the Music Video early next week. It's a beautiful, soulful song and I look forward to posting this version soon. My best!
