Elena Oumano, Artist & Music Feature, Billboard
"Effortless and natural, the Cowboys' fusion of western themes and reggae riddims actually rediscovers a musical synthesis found in reggae's early years, when the island was tuning into American country and western music, along with seminal R&B.
In Rock Steady Rodeo, the reggae one-drop beat – laid out by rhythmic slashes of keyboards and rhythm guitar and syncopated basslines makes for an easy-rocking foundation for the band's greatest asset, Bird Bellony's tasteful six-string architecture. Soaring without showboating, his fluid guitar passages are studded with evocative signatures from the soundtrack to American cowboy culture, real and imagined, past and present."
