I like this piece, BA. I feel like the vocal needs to be
brought up a bit, it is kind of drowned out by the rhythm
guitar. Good harmonies and sort of a techno-galloping
bed.

Nice song, nicely structured with a lovely rhythm. I think
the vocals are a bit low in the mix ... it would be nice to
hear them a bit more prominent. Lovely tune though.
Keep 'em coming!

I agree with first two comments here, that the music is
overpowering, and it therefore undermines your voice.
Your wonderful expressiveness doesn't shine through
here as it does in your other postings. This is a good piece
songwriting - nice concept with a solid set of images
mixing up cowboys and computers. I have two questions
about the lyrics. First, what does "chance'll" mean -
chances he will, i.e., chances he'll fall? Secondly, I don't
get the "say it ain't so" line. This question is asked of
somebody who has been charged with an egregious act,
begging them to refute the accusation - the classic case
being when a kid asked Shoeless Joe Jackson to "say it
ain't so" that he was in on the fix of the 1919 Baseball
World Series. It casts a negative connotation over your
song, but I fail to see anything in it that suggests the
cowboy has acted badly. The words depict loneliness and
your singing tone hints at saddness, but not badness.
Perhaps something more appropriate to a cowboy song
would be "Digital Cowboy, yippie kye yie yo" to maintain
the rhyme? Anyway - I'm not trying to be over-critical
here; just trying to pass along the thoughts I had while
listening to your fine song.

hey warren thanx for the thoughts, I was actually going along the lines that the
sadness/lonelines you sense is mainly our cowboy's fault so the implied
'badness' is I guess basically allowing himself to be stuck in a digital world, not
putting himself out there, but then i get too analytical, mostly it just felt like the
right thing to sing, but I do appreciate you asking the tough questions, good
point.

you've got that cool something that makes a song worth
listening too. Raw or produced perfectly. Great lyrics.
Fine harmonies. Keep 'em coming.....
