I'm in a country mood this week I guess.
We play both kinds, Country and Western.
This is the best Western ballad ever written, not a lot more can be said.
Not many songs generate sequels, and most sequels aren't very good. This generated two. The first "Feleena" tells the story from Feleena's point of view.
The second "El Paso City" is different. It is set in the present. The narrator, while flying over El Paso, tells of hearing the song and the deep connection he feels to it, suggesting that he was the cowboy in the song in a past life.
The only copy I found is a live version with some serious audio problems, sadly.
