Josh Long the San Fran’ self-taught musician released a new track titled “California Cowboy” with a stunning contemporary western vibe and experience mixed up with a modern pop theme.

“California Cowboy” begins with a sharp western electric guitar riff along with classic guitar chords that formulate the baselines for the experience.

Josh Long’s incredible production skills take you on a trip from the West to the East by combining classic rock and modern pop music entailing the concept of the track, which is when a free spirit is stuck in the wrong place for a long period of time and becomes jaded.

“California Cowboy” is sentimental and catchy at the same time, singing a catchy chorus and playing melodic tones that are put adequately to the lyrics give the track a shine that emerges through the production done by Josh himself to deliver the combination perfectly.

Warm, balmy and funny is typically how you’d describe this song although words don’t do it justice. It’s nostalgicness comes from the 70’s classic rocks clean, sharp yet groovy tunes of the electric guitar that will make way easily into your soul and trap you into the rhythm. The song talks about unrequited connections that leave you feeling like you’re not good enough or that there might be something wrong with you. The song perfectly imitates the feelings with the music apart from the lyrical aspect. You’ve got a moody beat with an undertone of sadness and emotive vocals packaged in a nonchalant manner. The overall sound of the song is funky and chill. The musical arrangements are rich with a lot of acoustic guitars, a groovy bass line, fun backing vocals and clapping sound effects. The vocals are soft and a little bit drenched in pain yet you will find peace and comfort because of how radiant this song actually is. Josh Long’s taste continues to inspire us to look deeper into our emotions.
