Cowboy Mouth is a rock band based in New Orleans, Louisiana, taking their name from the title of a Sam Shepard play. The nucleus of the band formed in the early 1990s, and they climbed the ladder from an opening act living in a van to a powerhouse live act that has been called “a religious experience” by more than one music journalist. They have received modest radio play yet every year the band plays before more than half a million people at live shows around the nation. Some of their classic songs include “Everybody Loves Jill” (where the audience throws red spoons on stage), “Hurricane Party” (audience tosses Tootsie Rolls), “Easy,” “Better,” and “Jenny Says,” the traditional closing song of every show. They also perform a version of “Born to Run” on the Light of Day tribute album to Springsteen. Lead singer Fred Leblanc, particularly in opening and closing numbers, exhorts the crowd with encouragements to let go of cares and worries, “I don’t care what’s buggin’ you, I don’t care what’s bringing you down, the only thing that matters is right here, right now!”

I absolutely love these guys!! They are one of the best shows I have seen. But the BEST without all the extras!! Which is awesome!!! I have seen them live 3 times and I try to catch them everytime they are around. :)

These guys are pure awesome. One of the best live shows of my life and the music is phenomenal on its own. Why they aren't among the biggest bands in the nation is beyond me.

I'd never heard of these guys until I watched this video from SoCo. It has a brief interview with the drummer and then a performance. I thought it was cool so I figured fans would enjoy it as well. (The first part is with Ozomatli, but they come after.) http://www.mydamnchannel.com/MN/Music_Nights/VoodooFestpt2_1089.aspx

I've loved this band since 1995, but I still haven't seen them live or bought a CD. That needs to change.
