Cowboy was a country/southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida who released four albums through legendary Capricorn Records label in the 1970´s. They are probably best remembered for the song “Please Be With Me” which Eric Clapton covered in his 461 Ocean Boulevard album. Cowboy was founded by Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton in 1969. Their debut “Reach for the Sky” (1970) amply shows off their rural whimsy and substantial acoustic capacities. While their country-rock leanings are comparable to the Hearts & Flowers, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, or Pure Prairie League, they rely on their solid original material rather than adaptations and variations on traditional works and standards from the genre. After touring in support of Gregg Allman, only Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton remained of the original band. The release of “Boyer & Talton”(1974), still using the Cowboy moniker, proves justified, as this record is a natural progression from “5’ll Getcha Ten” (1971) and a compilation LP “Why Quit When Your Loosing” (1973). Utilizing a crack support band made up of musicians in the Capricorn corral, Boyer & Talton deliver the goods and then some. From the opening “Patch & Pain Killer” right on through to the close, “Houston,” this Cowboy outfit rock and soul with just the right amount of smooth Southern charm to grab hold of and keep your listening attention. Possibly this band’s finest hour until the release of their self titled LP “Cowboy” (1977).
