A big thanks to
the fine gentlemen shown above! Without the help of DJ
Buffalo
Phil on turntables, Buster Gutbucket on
washtub bass, Sick
on the freakiest fiddle ever and Mojo on harmonica, this CD
would
be what it is. Be sure to catch Buster Gutbusket and
Friends every
Tuesday night at BB
Rovers. Looking for a gig? Stop by on a Tuesday
night, Buster's
always looking for new friends. DJ
Buffalo Phil plays in another band called Thulsa Doom. Very
cool stuff!
Saving the best for last, don't miss Sicks Pack, That Damned Band
and/or the many other fine working bands that like to include the best
damn fiddle player and musician extraordiare that Bourland has ever had
the pleasure to meet. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking about SICK!
Alrighty then
back to the Bourland music anthology.

Music from the
soundtrack
to Barefoot On
Broken Dreams
Bourland
produced a full length feature film
called
Barefoot on Broken Dreams
in
1999/2000,
written and
directed by the most fabulous, most groovy Paul Crosby. The soundtrack
was recorded live in Bourland's home studio with Paul Crosby, Mark
Maynard and Bourland. Then Johnny Santos came
over and added his additional guitar tracks in one take, having
never heard or played with the music. He played through each song once,
then we recorded, amazing! Nobody makes an electric guitar
sound like Johnny Santos. Thanks Johnny! The music for this recoding
evolved from several jam sessions with Mark, Paul and Bourland that
eventually turned into the band
Romancing Medusa.

Music from
Bourland's last band, Romancing
Medusa.
Romancing
Medusa started rehearsing and performing live in the spring of 1999.
The band lasted all of
about 8 months. After failing to be selected for SXSW 2000, Maynard
quit.
The movie,
Barefoot on Broken Dreams,
was more true of Bourland's creative life than he knew at the time. The
movie was a disaster, but that's long story that will soon be told, but
not now. Anyhoo, Romancing Medusa was the most fun Bourland ever had
playing music. Here are a couple of songs from a demo recorded at
Bourland's home studio (equipment provided courtesy of Mark Maynard).
All songs written by Paul Crosby.

Music
from Bourland's band, The
Texas Philistines
The Texas Philistines
were originally from Gatesville, Texas. In 1992 they began
looking for a new guitarist here in Austin, Texas. Paul Crosby and
Clint
Caldwell ran an ad in the Austin Chronicle's musicians referal. The ad
read something to the effect of The Texas Philistines
are looking for a
cow punk guitar player. Bourland replied, auditioned and got the job.
The band consisted of Clint
Caldwell-drums, Bourland-guitar & Paul Crosby-bass and vocals.
Bourland only recorded one album with The Texas Philistines called Honky Tonk Sabbath, recorded in
Mark Maynard's home studio.
Here are two
individual songs as well as the entire album in its original form. More
MP3's coming soon.
