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".[4] The song is derived from 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".[4]
