About the Artist
As a small child in southeastern Oklahoma, Eddie Glenn had big dreams-- he wanted to grow up and be a garbage-truck driver. However, Eddie's life took a tragic turn, and he ended up doing neither. He became a singer-songwriter instead. Through his college years, Eddie played in numerous bands, including Fear of Lemmings, Bite the Wax Tadpole, Special Ed and the Shortbus Riders, Bigwitch, All The Naked Payne Children, and Fear of Lemmings Version 2.0. But in 2000, he finally release his first solo CD, "Un-PC," a collection of songs so politically incorrect, Eddie's own mother refuses to acknowledge the CD's existence. Eddie's newest CD, "Hick-Hop," is a bit less offensive to Eddie's mother, but still contains some of the twisted, satirical humor that has become Eddie's trademark. Produced by Eddie and Jeffrey Gray Parker at Cimarron Sound Lab in Tahlequah, "Hick-Hop" contains a diverse musical mix, from bluegrass to hip-hop. It features playing by some of northeastern Oklahoma's best musicians, including Parker on guitar and bass; Jim Blair on banjo; Mick Thomas and Steve Kirkpatrick of Bliss McCain on drums and bass respectively; and Jerry Horner, who's backed up the likes of Lefty Frizzell and Buck Owens, on pedal steel guitar.

Product Description
"Hick Hop" is the second CD by Tahlequah, Oklahoma singer/songwriter Eddie Glenn. Unlike his first release, "Un-PC," which features some of Glenn's most politically incorrect tunes with just vocals and acoustic guitar, "Hick Hop" features a small, yet very capable, group of musicians, and a variety of styles, from bluegrass to rap (sometimes in the same song).

Product Description

From their basement studio in Seattle, Mountain Con has taken the dusty, dirty sound of Americana and combine it through today's state of the art digital technology. What has emerged is a hybrid of folk-rock and hip-hop break beats that defies the genre-specific labels of the most astute music critics. The new album Dusty Zeros Dirty Ones was created entirely through their own process, which began by recording their own jam sessions to generate original sample material. They reconstructed, chopped and rearranged the best loops into a diverse and dynamic sample library that laid the foundation for the new record.

Customer Reviews:

best album by far.......2006-06-03

love it. very different from everything out there. good mix of rock/folk/indie to satisfy any music lover. go see 'em live, they put on a great show. "false horizon" is hands down my all time fav song by them.

Very listenable.......2005-09-23

This is an album I found myself wanting to listen to again and again. The songs tend to be short, but catchy. "False Horizon" is probably the highlight of the CD with it's catchy lyrics, solid beat, and excellent mixing. None of the songs are bad, and it's overall a very solid album. With the kind of talent these guys have it's hard to imagine them not getting more popular.

A Bad Rap?.......2006-10-23

Cowboy Troy is the real deal...Just because some redneck crawled out of his double wide and proclaimed "this ain't country" is no reason to discount Troy's efforts. Despite Nashville's conspiracy to package vanilla wafer country, ocassionally true originals slip through and tell it how it is. Cowboy Troy is one of those originals.

CT has proven that there is a place for rap in country music in his cameo efforts with some big name acts. Perhaps his solo efforts haven't shown it yet, but some damn good musicians recognized his abilities and brought him on board.

CT has brought a new fresh face and sound to an inbred genre that sorely needs some fresh blood. Kidd Rock mixed it up and we didn't hear ya'll whinin' and bitchen about that. Hell, everyone in my family rides and ropes and we listen Ozzy! Go back to your trailer and have another Bud, it matches your taste in music...

No business being in the country genre.......2005-09-10

There have always been people who criticize country music because of the "twang," but that is one of the things that make country music great, and why it appeals to a particular crowd, young and old, I myself being 21 and enjoy just about any country song, but this CD is not country, and it has no business even being associated within that genre. This whole "Hick-Hop" is a joke. Of course, if you happen to like Rap, this CD will appeal to you, but for the real "Cowboys" out there, this CD is a complete waste of time, and should not be considered country because there is a banjo or steel guitar in the background.

New Wave Country Without Prejudice --- Go CBT & Big & RIch!!.......2005-04-15

I never really liked country too much. I mean, I like really old country like Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, but I never liked the 90s country like Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and crap like that. I also didn't like how country and the people that listened to it were and still are very stereotypical. Why cant you have a mixture and go wild if thats what you like. Cowboy Troy is a black guy who grew up country so why should he pretend to be a hip hop artist when he is a country guy that appreciates hip hop too. Why not blend it, and he does it well. I love how Big & Rich are all about not descriminating against anyone. I think Cowboy Troy brings great beats and great respect to Country music, breathing new life into Country, and giving it a modern feel without swearing that anybody can appreciate. The beats and the lyrics are very country, but his rap style fits perfectly with the country music. He is very cool, I cant stop listening to him or Big & Rich. I'm proud of what they are doing to country music, and I am proud to say that I am starting to like newer country music, not just old country music. But I'll never like 90s country. BLAH! I HATE STEREOTYPICAL COUNTRY CRAP!

What is Country Music?.......2005-03-27

Cowboy Troy definitely funkifies the traditional "country" music, and I'm sure that he goes too far for some people's comfort. However, he definitely is carving out a place for himself within the industry, and belongs in country music.

In the late 80s and early 1990s, there was quite the discussion whether the "new country" music was in fact country enough. The stars looked and acted too mainstream, and country music was ~gasp~ crossing over far too often for the purists' liking. But, given a few years, the hoopla died down, and everybody today can appreciate the diversity within country music.

Todays new artists, like Cowboy Troy and Shooter Jennings, have listened to a wide variety of music and been influenced by it, just as we have been. Their sound and style reflects these influences, and are richer for it. Sure, it isn't the country music of yesteryear, but who's to say it isn't the country music of today or tomorrow?

Let's face it, the simple truth is that no one loves EVERY song played on the country station-- and that's fine. As for me, I enjoy Cowboy Troy's unique style and look forward to his next album, even as I wear out Hick Hop Hysteria.

I enjoyed it.......2005-02-22

Personally I enjoy Cowboy Troy, I've been following his career since his debut on the CMA's last year. I regularly watch "MuzikMafia TV" on CMT, he is a member of the cast of that show. People say he is not country...but in my opinion Country is a melting pot of all styles & opinions. I don't care what anyone else says...he is country in my book...end of story
