Cowboy Waltz
Cowboy Waltz is an instrumental track by The Residents. It is the 5th part of their Buckaroo Blues suite.
Background
The song was written between 1987 and 1988, it is intended as a sort of outro to 'Bury Me Not', with its dramatic and melancholy arrangement adding to the sense of mourning created by Bury Me Not.
It was debuted at the November 1988 Buckaroo Blues Live Show in Amsterdam and was released as part of the Buckaroo Blues CD in January of 1989, sold exclusively to members of the UWEB fan club. The Song was then performed on German Television in March of 1989, before being included in the Cube-E setlist in September.
The song has seen many releases such as the "Live In Holland" performance and the pREServed box set instrumental demo. I was also featured in the second and third leg of their "In Between Dreams" show" as a prelude to "Six More Miles".
