Elena Oumano, Village Voice, November 7, 2000

The name of this group may strike some as an oxymoron, but reggae's found plenty of inspiration in country music's broken hearts and the legends of our wild wild West. The Reggae Cowboys' spin on America's fondest myth is all its own: irresistible loping rhythms and lyrical themes that subvert the romance by speaking to the plights of Native-Americans and African American slaves.
