  • I shot this almost ten years. Western AF wasn't even a thing yet. Luke Bell, Wyoming's Troubadour had just returned back to the Cowboy State to write some new tunes, do a little ranching, and let his mind ease. Luke had asked me to help him create a kickstarter video to raise funds for his second album. We spent a bunch of days for a few weeks trying to get things in order. We mostly just drove around Park County, pulling back beers, working on our yodeling voices, and enjoying the Wyoming mountains. It was a good time in our lives. We were both young creatives coming into our own, and hoping that our efforts will take us somewhere. Luke's creativity, charm, and confidence was taking his places. He would eventually in the coming years get himself the record deal of a lifetime. Stardom would come soon enough.
    It’s emotional to look back at this footage. I hope y’all enjoy this.

    "It's a damn shame the way things go

    I was lucky enough to see him open for Dwight Yoakam twice and meet him once. He was such a kind and gracious man carrying on the real country legacy. It's easy to see what Dwight saw in him to take him on tour 2 or 3 years in a row. RIP Luke, thank you for the amazing music and good times when I saw and met ya; you were one of the last genuine guys playing Americana and old school country out there

    Found his song Where Ya Been randomly not that long ago. Checked out his album, loved most of it. Then checked the rest of his page and was curious why there were no other albums. Only to find out he passed away. Saddest thing I had encountered in a while. I would've loved anything this guy continued to do. I also struggle with mental health issues, so maybe I can find peace so nobody goes around missing me for too long.
    RiP Luke Bell. I love your music.

    What a beautiful songwriter he was. His music will live on for a long, long time!
    Chords and lyrics below if you wanna play this one!
    No Capo, Standard tuning
    Cm is played as a "reduced Cm", something like xx554x
    Intro Cm C/G / Cm C/G / C F G / C F G / C G F / C G C
    Verse C / F G C / F G C / G / F C / G C
    Interlude C F G / C F G / C G F / C G C (all x2)
    Ends on C7
    [Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    I like the grasslands
    And the mountains and the prairies and the badlands
    And the canyons and the caverns and the desert sands
    And the birds and the bees and the bushes and the trees
    The snow and the wind and the rain and the sleet all underneath my feet
    Underneath my feet
    [Verse 2]
    I like the sidewalks
    And the streets and the lights from the pawn shops
    And the windows and the doors when they ain't locked
    With my woman inside dying to see me
    Hold me, please me, love me, leave me
    Ohh, down on my knees
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 3]
    I like pool halls
    And the rammers and the gammers around the eight ball
    Come morning maybe looking at a stone wall
    With the aches and the pains and the elbows and knees
    And the cigarette trees is what we need
    Ahh, cigarette trees
    [Verse 4]
    I like windmills
    And the trains and the truckers from the oil fields
    And the bugs when they splatter on my windshield
    And the way the sun feels, oh, it feels so real
    Ohh, and the glory and the grace
    And the glory and grace
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 1]
    I like the grasslands
    And the mountains and the prairies and the badlands
    And the canyons and the caverns and the desert sands
    And the birds and the bees and the bushes and the trees
    The snow and the wind and the rain and the sleet all underneath my feet

    His song Jealous Guy popped up randomly on Spotify the other day and after listening to it a few times, I went to find more of his music and hear about him. I read the bio on his Spotify page and that was a rollercoaster of emotions where the rollercoaster crashes at the end. I was so sad to hear it. I'm searching out other music of his and here I find some. Thank you for posting this! I'm glad he got the music out that he did, and I'm glad he got some of the recognition he deserved before the end. Thanks for the music, Luke! 💔💔
