LA Cowboy: The Big Pitch
ByAll songs are written, arranged and produced by J. Frederick Millea, aka LA Cowboy. The band, herein christened "The Hiplomats," is composed of LA session players par excellence. You might ignore the story and listen to the band. Or ignore the band and try to figure out the story. Since LA Cowboy avers "you have to work it out all yourself from the clues," you might as well. The reference to Bertolt Brecht must be a kind of musical Easter Egg. You decide. Someone has to.
Nothing that features Lady Millea on a backup vocal can be all bad.
