"Perhaps you've been wondering what a reggae band would sound like if it lived in the Old West. A silly idea you say? Well, don't forget that Bob Marley flirted with the notion in 'I Shot the Sheriff' and 'Buffalo Soldier'. Although history and Hollywood have paid little attention to the large number of black pioneers and cowboys who settled and worked the West, country music and cowboy movies are popular the world over, and the Caribbean Islands are no exception... A Caribbean culture that enjoys both home-grown reggae and cowboy themes was bound to give us a spaghetti-western reggae band at some point - fortunately, the Reggae Cowboys are up to the task."
