Tried and true rock n' roll stalwarts The Cowboys return after a brief hiatus with their delightful sixth LP, “Sultan of Squat”. This grounded yet adventurous new album marks the reunion of the original lineup, featuring Keith Harman (vocals\/keys), Mark McWhirter (Guitar), Zackery Worcel (Bass), and Jordan Tarantino (drums). It is nothing short of a glorious return to form, a long player hoping to bring a smile to the ears of listeners.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Sultan of Squat” furthers the band's trajectory into themselves, polishing off thirteen songs filled with dubious characters, whimsical retreats, and even the odd love song. As with previous releases, The Cowboys refuse to make their bed in any single genre. Lead track, “The Sultan of Squat'' opens the album with an earworm salute to America’s pastime while lofting a lyrical curveball of dark, defeated humor. The boys kick it into high gear, playing with the finesse and dexterity ten years as a band instills. It's automatic - whether they're launching into classic Midwestern garage punk (“Raining Sour Grapes”), dialing things back to piano-driven power pop (“Token Drifter”), or western slide guitar pop-rock ballads (\"She's Not Your Baby Anymore\"), The Cowboys are simply incredible across “Sultan of\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSquat”.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis could well be The Cowboys' finest hour as a group, and six albums in - that's no easy feat. The best of the Midwest is back under the bright lights, pouring collective blood, sweat, and tears into a sound equal parts then and now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ereleased August 25, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKeith Harman - Lead Vocals, Keys\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eZack Worcel - Bass Guitar, Backup Vocals\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMark McWhirter - Lead Guitar, Backup Vocals, Glockenspiel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJordan Tarantino - Drums, Aux Percussion, Backup Vocals\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecial thanks:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePeter Doyle - slide guitar on \"She's Not Your Baby Anymore\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRamekin Multicup - cover type\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlice Knipstine - photography, clay head\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRecorded at Russian Recording in Bloomington, IN\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEngineering, Mixing, and Production - Damion Schiralli\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastering - Mikey Young\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtwork - Zack \u0026amp; Jordan\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Feel It Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67842443018339,"sku":"kqq1793391318617","price":17.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/2592\/7267\/files\/cowboys-the---sultan-of-squat---new-lp_1.jpg?v=1793391346","url":"https:\/\/blisscutclad.shop\/products\/cowboys-the-sultan-of-squat-new-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
