๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐จ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐, the new country funk outfit from Australian funk legends ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ซ (vocals) and ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ก ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฒ (guitar), following on from their bands SWOOP and Professor Groove & The Booty Affair, launch their self-titled debut album at Lazybones Lounge on Thursday April 23.After starting Cowboy Simple on a whim as a vehicle to play music influenced by the New Orleans funk of The Meters, the diverse soul of The Band and the countrypolitan stylings of Glen Campbell and Charlie Rich, they enlisted the help of a veritable Australian โWrecking Crewโ - musicians like Michael Di Francesco (bass), Terepai Richmond and Declan Kelly (drums), Oliver Thorpe (pedal steel), Harry Sutherland (keyboards) and many more to help them record an album that veers from countryfied disco to pastoral laments to heartbreaking Al Green style truck stop soul, with a hand picked selection of incredible underground Australian singers. Ricky Nifo's voice will simply stop you in your tracks, Juanita Tippins soul is deep cut legendary, brand new artist Xanthe will melt your brain and Chloe West is extraordinary as they interpret this collection of songs from these under-recognised Australian legend songwriters and musicians.
Original songs like โRollinโ Onโ and โSunrise With Uโ have already garnered lots of attention in country-esque world both locally and in the US, featuring on multiple playlists such asAussie Country, New In Country, New Music Daily, New In Singer-Songwriter & Little Bit Country, and their cover of the classic โWichita Linemanโ was remixed by Desert Disco legends The Flying Mojito Bros and has been played from Glastonbury to Coachella.
Time will tell if these tracks make the impact they deserve, but the suggestion would be to check them out now before they blow up.
This is a new universe where genres blend and classic songs prevail
