From Bob:

Saw the Reggae Cowboys last weekend at the Great Woods Music Festival in rural Manitoba. (Two years ago they played at a free concert at Winnipeg's The Forks, and I assumed by now they would be huge. I still assume that it's only a matter of time.)

Do not hesitate to see this band. They were hanging around the beer garden, laughing and conversing and enjoying the earlier acts, relaxing before they closed the place down on Sunday night. I bought a copy of Stone Ranger, and got three of the four signatures: good-natured and a little bit sheepish at being asked for autographs. (And the CD was only $20. HMV wants 24 or 25 to order any of the disks for me. Plus tax.)

But the show! Blazing full speed into Night Riders, followed by Mr Hubble, and one rave up after another. Johnny B Goode, Rock Steady Rodeo, all the way to their encores, Hotel California and Lighten Up. Awesome, and ready for the arena. Go see them. Ask at every music store you visit which Reggae Cowboys disks they have. Request the songs from your local radio station, and act surprised when they ask, "Who?"

Spread the word.
