Top Ten Songs by Cowboy Mouth

Cowboy Mouth is a band straight from New Orleans. Their music is a rich mix of rock jazz and zydeco. Many critics compare their live show to a “religious experience”. They got the name Cowboy Mouth from the actor Sam Shepard and one of his playwrights. The band is led by Fred LeBlanc on drums and vocals. Other band members include; Paul Sanchez on lead guitar and vocals, John Griffith on guitar and backup vocals, and Sonia Tetlow on bass and backup vocals.

Being a Louisiana native I have had the Cowboy Mouth Live experience many times and it never gets dull or routine. I always have a blast feeding from the energy that Fred generates for all to soak up. Many of Cowboy Mouth’s songs are inspired by Louisiana culture, history, and events. Just listening to a Cowboy Mouth CD you can feel the passion coming through in every verse. Here is the Cowboy Moth Top Ten Songs of all time:

10. Here I sit in Prison – A ballad by John Griffith about the time he (fictional) caught his best friend sleeping with his wife. He gunned down his friend for doing so and now he is sitting in prison and he is not sorry. His only regret is that he was not able to get his wife too. This song is free to the public because Cowboy Mouth released it before they signed with a major label.

9. Love of My Life – Getting the crowd pumped is the pure purpose of this song. Fred’s emotion and raving is an instant addiction in this song, probably due to the fact that almost everyone had to break up with someone and then they went completely psycho! It is a song that was literally written about a girl Fred went to school with.
