You Gotta Get Crazed!
Well, what can I say?! Their name fits
'em! And the way they describe themselves-"hip hop country" (which is
also the title of the first cut on this album) fits 'emÉ..
But they're OH so much more!! This band
got my attention from the first note of the first song on their CD.
And it hasn't let me go, since!! Really!! I listen to them every day!
And believe me, I have a LOT of music to listen to!
But these guys get me dancin'Éeven before
my heart starts beating in the mornings! I very strongly recommend this
group - even to (like myself), folks who hunger for more traditional
country musicÉ..
Why, you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you
whyÉÉ..Its 'cause the Crazed Cowboys are just plain FUN!! (not to mention
TALENTED) É..I think I can safely, and without hesitation, say you'll
love their music.
Now, at first, when you start the CD,
the first cut "Hip Hop Country", you might step back a bitÉ.and find
yourself asking - "What the heck IS this?" É..But wait!!! AND listen!!!
You'll LOVE it!! You won't be able to help yourself! (that is, if you
like music, and you're alive and breathing) É..And I assume, since you're
reading this, that you AREÉÉ..
I think one of my favorites on this CD,
has got to be "Say Yes To A Dance". Nice balladÉbut done with a very
different styleÉ..GREAT lyrics, tooÉsincere, REAL, and comfortableÉ
But hey, who wants to STAY comfortable!?
É.So its on to the old BayouÉas in "Deep In The Old Bayou" Éwhat a song!!
Took me awhile to think who the lead singer reminded me ofÉand drove
me nuts, till I didÉÉ..why its none other than, Chris Le DouxÉ.yepÉ.BUT,
not a copy! No, just a hint of his voice, styleÉÉÉÉÉ
The Crazed Cowboys hail from the St.Louis
area, and you can get a list of their gigs, as well as listen to and
order, their CD, at their website (also written with great humor, I
might add) É..

what an album this is, and I reeeeally
hope you'll take a few minutes to listen to these guys. I don't think
you'll be sorryÉ..in fact, if you ARE, you can let me knowÉ.at Lfryer1324@aol.com
But don't send ONLY bad newsÉ.I'd love
to hear from you, any comments you have to say..either wayÉÉÉÉÉ.
