The Horse That Bud Bought is the fourth studio album from heavy metal band Galactic Cowboys. The album title comes from the lyrics to the song "Oregon".[4] The song is derived from real life events where bassist Monty Colvin and his family (mother and father) sold all of their worldly goods and joined a cult that lived in a commune up in the mountains of Oregon. The cult leader was upset that Monty's father had bought him a horse and told him he had to give it to the whole "family".[4]
Notes
- The cover art was painted by bassist Monty Colvin.
- The song "Tilt-A-Whirl" contains a recorded sample of an actual Tilt-a-whirl carnival ride.
- The outro to the song "My Life" contains lyrics from the band's song "Still Life of Peace" sung to the tune of The Beatles' "Blue Jay Way".
- The Japanese version of this album contained the bonus track "Every Knee".
- The title to the song "The Buzz" comes from the nickname of an old rock station in Houston
