"I've packed up my riggin', soon to be leavin' this outfit I've known.
I'll always remember the friends I have made here and the kindness they've shown."
— Mike Fleming, Buckaroo Dream
Say it ain't so, Mike! Alas, the days of New West as a touring band are over. Mike is just too damn happy at home, and in his new job, to continue to keep New West in the saddle. It's been a great ride, though. Ten years of the best Western music ever, combined with an unpretentious showmanship second to none.
We'll miss their shows, but their music lives on.
You can still order their three great CDs on line, right here .
As a showcase for Mike's beautiful songs, the trio's sweet harmony singing, and Raul's world-class guitar work, all 3 CDs are indispensible!
You can keep up with what Raul is doing at the Rhythm Brothers website.
I hope to establish a web presence for David Jackson soon, so check here again.
You can contact Michael Fleming at: gnuwest@ca.rr.com. Bug him about some New West reunion concerts.
This will not be a static web page. As any news develops regarding New West, or any of its members, I'll post it here. So check back again. But for now,
May the horse be with you.
...Rick Shubb.
