The Horse That Bud Bought

Released on Metal Blade Records on July 15th, 1997, 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", which the title is also based on. The song is derived 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'.
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.
All songs written and arranged by Galactic Cowboys.
Produced, mixed, recorded and engineered by Alan Doss and Brian Garcia.
Recorded and Mixed in Houston TX on stuff we bought.
