Lazy Cowgirls.......rock's best kept secret.......2003-10-23
The Lazy Cowgirls "I'm Goin' Out and Get Hurt Tonight" (Reservation Records)
The Cowgirls are actually four good ol' boys who stir up a spicy stew of roots-rock, country, early R&B and rowdy punk that will have you doing a melancholy slow-dance one minute (the world-weary acoustic-and-steel ballad "You Might Be Lost Now") and slam-dancing off the walls the next (the retro-rocketing "Burnin' Daylight").
They tout themselves as "the best band you never heard of" but no less than Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips has called them "an American Institution." If there's any rock 'n' roll justice at all, the Cowgirls' latest album, "I'm Goin' Out and Get Hurt Tonight," should transform these unknown road dogs into a national treasure.
They've been likened to everyone from "Exile On Main Street"-era Rolling Stones (check out the brawny guitars on "Give It Away") to the rudimentary Ramones (the pile-driving "The Risin' Sun Over Naga-Gun"), with a shot of rural Hank Williams twang thrown in for extra country texture, and they've been rumbling down the back byways of indie rock since 1983.
Catch them at their next (mosh) pit stop, before they get famous. (Hey, it's bound to happen sometime, even if singer-guitarist Pat Todd is getting balder every day).
