Here is a link to a band called B-Cow that I was very lucky to play in a few years ago. It's not your father's country but I think it's pretty interesting. The most interesting part is the urban people in the band just love country music citing influences like George Jones and Merle. The leader of the band is Butch Stewart (AKA Butch Morrison). He worked with Earth Wind and Fire and Ramsey Lewis. He was the ultimate producer (and a great entertainer, singer, songwriter, arranger and musician) and the sweetest guy you'd ever want to know. You've heard his work on McDonalds TV commercials - da da ba ba ba, I'm Lovin' it - was Butch's hip version that took hold. Butch passed away last week and he will not soon be forgotten. Butch was a dear friend and I'm proud to have been his pal.

Oh and yes B-Cow was a 20 piece band with a three piece horn section. The bus was crowded to say the least |
