From the Jeff Wyatt album: Wanted (Soundtrack to Mike Reilly's "Tumbleweed")
(writer: Jeff Wyatt)
Jeff originally wrote this song back in 1993, but never recorded it at the time. He did perform it occasionally until sometime in 1994, after which he completely forgot about it, and it was lost in his memory banks at the time of his father’s death. Rediscovering it in one of his old lyric books, he decided it could be suitable for this project. He expanded on the original lyrics in order to “date” and round out the story more completely. For example, the guy in the original lyric came into town on a Harley,… but of course, for this project he would need to ride in on a horse. As the lyric sadly states, “it’s a sad tale of love and betrayal” that got this unfortunate dude locked up in that Mexican jail.
Canadian west coast comedy scriptwriter MIKE REILLY of Canamera Entertainment (Radio Comedy Shows) has created another gem to add to his growing repertoire of radio ready audio drama productions. This time it’s built on a cowboy western theme, entitled TUMBLEWEED; a fictional Wild West frontier town complete with colorful period characters.
Every movie or audio drama deserves a corresponding musical soundtrack. With this in mind, Mike hired Jeff to create suitable music for this fun Wild West production and "Wanted (Soundtrack to Mike Reilly’s “Tumbleweed”)" was thus conceived.
