    Artist description
    Combine friendship, good times, strong songwriting and some good ol' southern influenced music that rocks, and you might darn well be talking about the Cosmic Cowboys. Some say their music is straight ahead - in your face - no excuses made - ass kickin' country-rock. And others say that the band has an americana or roots-rock sound. Is that confusing enough for ya?

    Artist History
    The founding members - Rob, Mark and Eric - got their start in the business playing music together throughout their junior high and high school days under the band name Caution. After years of playing the club scene of west Texas, the guys went seperate ways throughout much of the early 1990's to pusue other bands, live sound engineering roles, becoming studio owners, forming an audio rental business, and producing other artists. In late '97, Eric Mark and Rob decided to begin a new chapter and re-grouped to form the Cosmic Cowboys. At that time, they also added Ryan (Eric and Mark's cousin) as the Cowboys bassist. With the addition of Ryan, the group began going through a collection of over a hundred songs they had written, and began rehearsing for an album they decided to cut. Throughout the process, even more songs were developed and brought to the sessions. Rob added some great engineering skills, and the guys were well on their way to creating a unique sound and debut album.
