Artist description
Sonic cowboy rock that grooves and churns like Pennsylvania black crude bubblin' up from deep inside the nearby Allegheny Mountains. Imagine The Eagles blended with The Dixie Dregs, pencil in Van Morrison on vocals, add an occasional guitar solo from Carlos Santana and you have a pretty good idea of what the TMBC experience is all about. A little blues, a little rock, a little funk, a little country, and hey, if it all happens to be in the same song, so much the better. |

"Who Cares What The Deputy Thinks" is bizarre cowpunk featuring eerie, sci-fi sounds, cool guitar and a computer-altered voice. Delightfully puzzling." - Scott Tady, The Times. Available on The Cowboy Way CD. |
