they deserve their own thread. they need to be released from the (admittedly rightous) ghetto of the 70's west coast/country/whatever thread. THEY WERE GREAT. AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNHERALDED. EVEN MORE UNHERALDED THAN THE GREATNESS THAT IS POCO. but i haven't read mojo in years. maybe they have heralded them recently. whenever i see mojo they are doing a BritPulp special and i never buy it.
all i know is this: IF YOU LIKE SWEET SWEET HARMONIES AND GREAT SONGS AND ROCK MUSIC AND POT SMOKE THEN 5'LL GETCHA TEN WILL BE YOUR SUMMER JAM OF THE CENTURY.
i guaranfuckintee it.
WHAT AN ALBUM!
but here's the thing: ALL COWBOY ALBUMS ARE GOOD.
get it while the gettin's good, folks. their entire catalog should set you back about ten bucks.
RECORDED AT CAPRICORN SOUND STUDIOS, MACON GEORGIA AND MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND STUDIOS, SHEFFIELD, ALABAMA.
BOYER & TALTON I SALUTE YOU!

I WILL HEAR IT AS SOON AS IT COMES INTO MY STORE, OBVIOUSLY. OR IF I SEE IT AT ANOTHER STORE, AS LONG AS IT IS LESS THAN $5.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEND ME YOUR SPARE COPY.

I think those albums were later re-released as a twofer, which was re-titled Why Quit When You're Losing (with or without a question mark?) Used to seeum opening Southern Rock stalwarts, like Grinderswitch, which didn't go over too well, at least when I saw them: they were too refined for that YEEEEHAWWWW context, which isn't a putdown of that context,YEEEEEEHAWWWW is what weuns were there for (hey, when Grinderswitch were the headliners). But good in really more of a Traffic way than a country rock way, this was more stoned folk-jazz (little Weather Report in there too), but more adaptable than say Sea Level. If they could have opened for the Allmans more (this is when Eat A Peach and Brothers And Sisters were still fairly recent), more in that band's audience would have dug the ABB-compatible smokey lyricism (although still would have had to deal with YEEEHAWWW). Come to think of it, Scott Boyer's recent/usual lineup of Decoys includes some Muscle Shoals vets like David Hood, and I think Hood was in theversion of Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section that toured as part of Traffic (hopefully when Traffic also included African musicians, like Reebop Kuwaku Baah, whose name I might be mispelling--who could resist trying, though!)Was a big benefit concert for Boyer's medical expenses last year or so; can't remember all the talent, but I posted 'em on Rolling Country (2007 or 2006). Don't know what Tommy Talton's up to now, but Talton (Johnny)Sandlin & (Bill) Stewart released an album in the mid-late 70s, and held forth at a Montgomery club for about a week in the same era--they were more like a heavier, more rocking variation on Jeff Beck's early fusion approach, and when local keybist Jabbo Stokes sat in, it was like Stevie Wonder sitting in with Beack (which coulda happend, maybe, since Wonder supposedly "gave" "Superstitious" to Beck, but then thought better of it and put out his own version first, as well he might). Duane Allman played on "Please Be With Me" (at least the version that's on the great Duane Allman Anthology, and Clapton later covered it, so hopefully Talton or Boyer or both if it's a co-write still getting some royalties for that.

Five'll Getcha Ten.
Great record. Only listened once, when I first got it, but it'll probably go into fairly heavy rotation. I'm too bogged down in old timey music to listen to anything with a drum kit more than once.

Just found their first album online. maybe my favorite so far.

Oh man I love this band! I still have found the tan album with Cowboy in rainbow colors. So far they really don't have a bad album.

still haven't found it rather.
Boyer & Talton were guests of the Allman Bros at the Beacon the other night, apparently.

ahhhH! would have gone. irridium is weird & kinda sucks, but if you manage it rite maybe you can score some free drinks.

yeah i was there once to see some fancy jazz guitar dudes. (gene bertoncini rulez!) cool that you could hear a pin drop. as the set ticked down it was too evident that time == money. no free drinks:(
― Thus Sang Freud, Saturday, 9 April 2011 02:27 (thirteen years ago) link
our 'free' drinks involved being served the wrong type of whiskey but getting to keep it in addition to the replacement, then the waiter delivering us a beer we did not order.
