One of Southern rock's best-kept secrets during its golden age in the 1970s, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> was formed by songwriters <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tommy-talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Tommy Talton</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/scott-boyer-mn0000305415" class="name-link">Scott Boyer</a> in Jacksonville, Florida in 1969.

REVIEW
By Lindsay Planer
While not exactly the house band for <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/phil-walden-mn0000339689" class="name-link">Phil Walden</a>'s Macon, GA-based Capricorn Records label, the members of the acoustic aggregate <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> -- consisting of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/scott-boyer-mn0000305415" class="name-link">Scott Boyer</a> (guitars/violin/vocals), <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tommy-talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Tommy Talton</a> (guitars/vocals), <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-pillmore-mn0000087197" class="name-link">Bill Pillmore</a> (piano/guitar/fiddle/vocals), <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tomm-wynn-mn0001663667" class="name-link">Tomm Wynn</a> (drums/percussion), <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/george-clark-mn0001212334" class="name-link">George Clark</a> (bass), and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/pete-kowalke-mn0001208029" class="name-link">Pete Kowalke</a> (guitars/vocals/drums) -- could be found on recordings by the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/allman-brothers-band-mn0000745964" class="name-link">Allman Brothers Band</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gregg-allman-mn0000801101" class="name-link">Gregg Allman</a> (whom they regularly supported), <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/alex-taylor-mn0000621821" class="name-link">Alex Taylor</a>, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bonnie-bramlett-mn0000085415" class="name-link">Bonnie Bramlett</a>. Their debut <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/reach-for-the-sky-mw0000100735" class="album-link">Reach for the Sky</a> (1971) amply shows off their rural whimsy and substantial acoustic capacities. While their country-rock leanings are comparable to the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/hearts-flowers-mn0001563871" class="name-link">Hearts &amp; Flowers</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-nitty-gritty-dirt-band-mn0000718907" class="name-link">the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band</a>, or <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/pure-prairie-league-mn0000371879" class="name-link">Pure Prairie League</a>, they rely on their solid original material rather than adaptations and variations on traditional works and standards from the genre. However, as the mini-hoedown "Honey Ain't Nowhere" proves, they dew drop in for some unquestionably bluegrass-inspired pickin'. The succinct "Amelia's Earache" and "Pick Your Nose" are both off-the-wall indulgences that nicely balance out the stunning "Beautiful Friend" and the mid-tempo rocker "Stick Together," which bears all the earmarks of an early-'70s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/allman-brothers-mn0000745964" class="name-link">Allman Brothers</a> side. Similarly, "Rip &amp; Snort" features a strong repetitive rhythm that is accentuated by the guitarists in a tandem lead similar to that of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/duane-allman-mn0000807028" class="name-link">Duane Allman</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/dickey-betts-mn0000260361" class="name-link">Dickey Betts</a>. Another recommended spin is the languid and laid-back "It's Time," as it wafts into a vibe reminiscent of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/neil-young-mn0000379125" class="name-link">Neil Young</a> circa <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/after-the-gold-rush-mw0000192439" class="album-link">After the Gold Rush</a> (1970). <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/reach-for-the-sky-mw0000100735" class="album-link">Reach for the Sky</a> (1971) is full of pleasurable, if not slightly pastoral, music that is recommended for inclined ears who likewise favor Southern rock.

REVIEW
By James Chrispell
After touring in support of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gregg-allman-mn0000801101" class="name-link">Gregg Allman</a>, only <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/scott-boyer-mn0000305415" class="name-link">Scott Boyer</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tommy-talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Tommy Talton</a> remained of the original band. The release of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/boyer-talton-mw0000838868" class="album-link">Boyer &amp; Talton</a>, still using the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> moniker, proves justified, as this record is a natural progression from 5'll Getcha Ten. Utilizing a crack support band made up of musicians in the Capricorn corral, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/boyer-talton-mw0000838868" class="album-link">Boyer &amp; Talton</a> deliver the goods and then some. From the opening "Patch &amp; Pain Killer" right on through to the close, "Houston," this <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> outfit rock and soul with just the right amount of smooth Southern charm to grab hold of and keep your listening attention. Probably this band's finest hour.
