I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell

Life Part Of Livin'

Building on the first album, the Beau Williams Band's second album deepens its roots in Southern rock, country, and folk while venturing into new sonic territories and genres. The conceptual feel-good journey continues, this time exploring the themes of nostalgia, growth, and the unbreakable bonds of community. The live jam session feel is still very much present.
The intricate guitar work and layered harmonies remain a signature element, and the album offers a dynamic range, from foot-stomping, front-porch sing-alongs that evoke a sense of shared history to intimate, soulful tracks that feel like a quiet conversation between old friends. It’s a perfect companion for a late-night drive home, a walk through a familiar landscape, or simply savouring a moment of quiet reflection.

Gonna' Make Music on the Rainbow Bridge v. Country Rock
Reidmoto: Lyrics & Producer

On 5.22.25, I had to put my beloved, beautiful, and sweet doggie Dallie down. She was a 16 year old Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler), and had diabetes for three years which was controlled by two insulin shots a day.  But in May, she stopped eating, and had bouts of intense, howling, screaming pain. She was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, which I've had myself, and I could not let her suffer such intense pain. 

I feel like there's a HUGE HOLE IN MY HEART, and I'm still grieving for her and hope to see her again on the Rainbow Bridge.

Gonna' Make Music on the Rainbow Bridge 

[Verse 1]
When it’s time for me to give up the fight
to go home and be at peace
I wanna travel easy and light
So I get a retro rocket release

[Pre-Chorus]
I only need two things in that pine box
A photo of my doggie Dal-lee
My very best friend and Pal-eee
and just in case, I don’t want no locks

[Chorus]
The other is my beloved Fender Strat
Gonna make music, when I find out
where that Rainbow Bridge is at
Just thought of a third thing, a straw hat

[Verse 2]
I wonder how big a transition it will be? 
Me and Dal-lee can play ball again
and she’ll be jumping for joy
and filled with glee bein' with me

[Pre-Chorus]
I only need two things in that pine box
A photo of my doggie Dal-lee
My very best friend and Pal-eee
and just in case, I don’t want no locks

[Chorus]
The other is my beloved Fender Strat
Gonna make music, when I find out
where that Rainbow Bridge is at
Just thought of a third thing, a straw hat

[Bridge]
I wish I had directions or a map
I’m sure the Rainbow Bridge is a 
Popular destination
For pet resurrection

[Eight bar both guitarists play a  harmonized, soaring guitar solo]

[Interlude]
Sure, there’s a lot of people I miss
and will be so happy to give them
a hug and a kiss

Make up for lost time
Some left in their prime

But I’m going to find Dal-lee first.
My hope to reunite’s
been an unquenchable thirst.

[Pre-Chorus]
I only need two things in that pine box
A photo of my doggie Dal-lee
My very best friend and Pal-eee
and just in case, I don’t want no locks

[Chorus]
The other is my beloved Fender Strat
Gonna make music, when I find out
where that Rainbow Bridge is at
Just thought of a third thing, a straw hat

Gonna Make Music on Rainbow Bridge v. Rock - On 5.22.25 I had to put Dallie down.
