Artist History What exactly is the...Twang? The dictionary says..."a sharp ringing sound, as the string of a musical instrument is plucked", yet there is more to this word than meets the musical note. The Twang lies within the heart of The Yeehaa Cowboys. It's what sets them apart in a crowded field of talented bands. It doesn't write the songs. It doesn't arrange the melodies. And it definitely can't get a record deal. That's what a manager does. So, what exactly can it do? The Twang inspires. It molds you to its spirit. And if you're lucky...it will show you a good time. "May The Twang Be With You" is the second release from The Yeehaa Cowboys. Recorded live in front of a studio audience, this CD is a thank you to all the Yeehaa faithful. This is the sound of The Yeehaa Cowboys. One take. One evening. And if you listen closely, you just may hear that "plucked instrument". And you may indeed feel...The Twang!

Press Reviews "Cowpunk Baby, Cowpunk!" - Released 1999 "There is plenty of catchy, fun stuff here...a really good album..." Krista Lamb - RHiG Magazine "...the songs inspire a touch of mad merriment..." Don Ward - The Annex Gleaner "Vocals and performance are excellent, as is the production." Ted Davidson - Seen Magazine "A hip and outrageous album that's as fun as a wild, bareback, horse ride." Luca D'Addario - Tandem - Canada's Cosmopolitan Newspaper "...an album of quirky, tongue-in-cheek cowboy and country-billy songs...some fun stuff here!" SK - The Spill Magazine "A coarsely blended margarita of edgy country, heavy fiddle, with a pinch of punk." Sarah Chauncey - Canadian Musician Magazine "...to all of those country fans who find line dancing too slow and repetitious; or to those punk fans who find themselves tapping their foot when Stompin' Tom comes on the air...this is for you. Go forth cowboys! The world awaits you in all of your weirdness." Damon de Szegheo - Kitty Mix "The Yeehaa Cowboys are much more than a Bushmills-induced hallucination. Cowpunk is real. It's here (and there) and it's now." Brian Hamlin - The Reporter (Vacaville, California)
