BIOGRAPHY
By Steve Leggett
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. Playing a kind of acoustic country-rock similar to contemporaries <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/pure-prairie-league-mn0000371879" class="name-link">Pure Prairie League</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> had its own twist on the formula, thanks to <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Talton</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/boyer-mn0000305415" class="name-link">Boyer</a>'s sharp, focused songwriting and a distinguishable Muscle Shoals flair. After hearing the band, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/duane-allman-mn0000807028" class="name-link">Duane Allman</a> passed the word along to <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/phil-walden-mn0000339689" class="name-link">Phil Walden</a> at Macon, Georgia's Capricorn Records, who offered the group a recording contract. The band's membership was pretty fluid during this time, other than <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Talton</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/boyer-mn0000305415" class="name-link">Boyer</a>, both of whom became de facto members of the Capricorn house band, playing with <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-allman-brothers-mn0000745964" class="name-link">the Allman Brothers</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/gregg-allman-mn0000801101" class="name-link">Gregg Allman</a>, <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>, among others. In all, four albums were released under the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> name on Capricorn Records, 1970's <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/reach-for-the-sky-mw0000036647" class="album-link">Reach for the Sky</a> and 1971's <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/5ll-getcha-ten-mw0000839318" class="album-link">5'll Getcha Ten</a> (combined into the two-disc compilation <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/why-quit-when-youre-losing-mw0000839204" class="album-link">Why Quit When You're Losing</a> in 1973), 1974's <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/boyer-talton-mw0000838868" class="album-link">Boyer & Talton</a>, and 1977's <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/cowboy-mw0000838361" class="album-link">Cowboy</a>. Also, the 1976 album <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/happy-to-be-alive-mw0000838517" class="album-link">Happy to Be Alive</a>, attributed to the trio of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/tommy-talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Tommy Talton</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-stewart-mn0003028816" class="name-link">Bill Stewart</a>, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/johnny-sandlin-mn0000245748" class="name-link">Johnny Sandlin</a>, was a <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> album in all but name. That was it, though, until 30 years later when <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/talton-mn0000518174" class="name-link">Talton</a> and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/boyer-mn0000305415" class="name-link">Boyer</a> put <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/cowboy-mn0000120411" class="name-link">Cowboy</a> back together in 2007, recording tracks at <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/sandlin-mn0000245748" class="name-link">Sandlin</a>'s Duck Tape Studio in Decatur, Alabama, but none of those tracks has yet been released.
