About This:

The Heart Of A Cowboy is Gene's second release.  The songs were all written by Gene and include a mix of western swing, traditional country and modern country.  The project was recorded in Nashville, TN at County Q Productions and features fabulous musicians:  Pat McGrath (acoustic guitar), James Mitchell (electric guitar), Scott Sanders (steel), Rob Hajacos (fiddle - Garth Brook's fiddle player), Gary Smith (piano), Don Kerce (bass), Paul Scholten (drums), and Thom Flora (background vocals).

The Heart Of A Cowboy has songs about cowboys, the working man, love and life:
     "Ain't Nothin' Hotter Than You" is a fun western swing tune about a beautiful lady.
     "The Heart Of A Cowboy" is a pop ballad that is a tribute to bull rider Tuff Hedeman and working cowhorse legend, Greg Ward.  These two cowboys have been a great inspiration to Gene and to many people to listen to their hearts, follow their dreams and never give up.
      "Good Bourbon, Good Beer, Goodbye" is a rock shuffle for the working man who finds temporary relief from a bad job in a good drink.
      "If It Wasn't For That" is a ballad about how something great can come from a series of bad events.
      "When I Think Of You" is a swing tune about how nothing can give you the blues when your deeply in love.
      " The Rest Of My Life" is a pop ballad about finding the love of your life and deciding to settle down.
     "Give All Your Love" is a ballad about learning to give what you want to receive.
     " Take Me Back To Texas" is a country shuffle about a cowboy who goes to New York and misses his home in Texas.
     " Where The Beer Is Cold (And The Women Are Hot) is a country rock tune for the working man who lives for the weekend and the honky tonk to get rid of his working blues.
     "Shit Happens" is a western swing number about having a real bad day and deciding to just move on 'cause, that's life.
