Hi Everyone,
 
I've spent the last couple of months working on a new spaghetti-western/cowboy theme tune and I've posted it to my site on broadjam.com.   I used a lot of orchestral sounds, classical guitar, whistling, and I even brought in my friend to play the harmonica part give it that old-west sort of vibe.  The song is called "The Lost Dutchman Trail"    You can hear the song at the following link:

Thanks for listening,  --Jim 
 

you wanted to capture the feeling of the sixties werstern movies - mission completed! I love those movies too.
 
and cool whistling skills - did you know that your last name (Pfeifer) is the German word for "whistler"? so it is in your blood!

Sounds pretty authentic to me Jim. :)  Your songs always come off well, even though you're constantly putting yourself into crazy new genres.  You're an amazing talent, Jim!

Thanks so much Walt and SpeedTom, I appreciate the comments.

Jim, this is really nice and would fit well in a western movie or western movie theme song. Has that western feel and the instrumentation, whistling and all are mixed together perfectly and blend together very nicely. Very well done.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Works completely. Great idea and execution. The orchestra could be be grander, if ya know what I mean...

This is fun, I happend to have seen three of Sergio Leones spagetti-westerns this week! The whistling and guitar sound is spot on. Really nice produced, maybe you have hold back the reverb a little too much (need to say I'm on laptop). Tape echo?

I like it a lot. I also like the reverb, tasty guitar as well. Did you play the guitars in this? Very nice production. It sounds fantastic here.

Thanks so much everyone!  I really appreciate the comments.   Yes, I did play the guitar parts and the whistling.
I brought my friend in to do the harmonica part.  The rest was done by with my plugins for the orchestral sounds.   Those take a lot of time to get them right, but it's great to have access to these plugins since I don't have the facility to record an orchestra.    Technology is great for musicians these days.  
I'm thinking of making another mix of the track after several folks have mentioned that they didn't like the classical guitar part, not enough reverb.  I was trying to keep it up front a bit more so that it wouldn't get lost in the mix, but may be it's too dry.  I'm also thinking of bringing the harmonica back again on the last verse.  I need to experiment to see how it will sound.
 
Thanks again everyone for listening.

Very authentic sounding...definitely hit the nail on the head.

Nicely done!
