So I heard Madonna's Ghosttown on my local radio today. I only caught the beginning but I thought it stood out from the usual fare because her voice is lower and seems very front and centre. I noticed that right away. Sounds nice--a womanly voice. I get tired of singers that sound like little girls. Hopefully no more little girl Madonna performance.

You've had me down a different rabbit hole tonight. From 'Rawhide' to 'Paladin' (Have Gun Will Travel), to 'High Noon' . . . I'm looking for an instrumental version of the theme - it's out there, somewhere, and it's beautiful. I find it amazing that Dmitri Tiomkin, a Russian, wrote music that captured the American West. I'm traveling back to the day when I wrote Roy Rogers and asked him for a pony. Yes, Adamrocks! Tex Ritter was a cowboy singer . . . I can't name or remember them all! I'd love to hear Adam sing 'Bury Me Out on the Lone Prairie'; 'Streets of Laredo'; the lonely 'Tumbling Tumbleweeds'; or 'Strawberry Roan' . . . my Uncle Jess raised Strawberry Roans in the Southern Sierra. I don't think 'Ghost Town' will be Western . . . my two cents is it will convey very contemporary love and loss, angst, emptiness. It may touch on the honesty of the Old West; a 'drive thru' those abandoned towns; Bodie, and the lonely intersection where James Dean met his fate . . .
Oh, Momtomany..I can quite visualize this. Gives me the goosebumps, this description. Looks like you and I grew up with some of the same music too! Paladin! Rawhide! Flash from the past. Sweet. I will be humming these songs all night now, you know.. Uh- uh. It will be the ghosts of Hollywood and how tying to "make it" can steal your soul.

I was just thinking -----can you just imagine Adam laughing his arse off if Ghost Town has NOTHING to do with western or country music themes and his fandom is continuing to go s=crazy with speculations about tumbleweeds, whistlings, riding cowboys etc......I think we are here for HIS entertainment!!!!! Oh, by the way, I DO love Roy Orbison. Thank you for finding this video of Pretty Woman, Adamrocks. I'm always so touched by people like you who have the "know-how" and inclination to find and post videos in response to messages others have written. I have always loved Roy Orbison's voice,and I think his music crossed genres, for sure. I heard him live in concert,ONCE. incredible voice! He influenced so many other bands and artists throughout the decades-including the Beatles, who quoted him as an influence several times in interviews. Thanks for the Pretty Woman walk down memory lane. Loved that one-and my all-time favorite, Only the Lonely.....

Oh, by the way, I DO love Roy Orbison. Loved "Pretty Woman" the song and the movie! "MERCY"!! ETA: I always thought of his music as a kind of soulful rock in roll. Please see my post in response to your video, a little further down the thread. Thank you so much for this, adamrocks!
