The Cajun Cowboy Blues © 2005 Words & Music : B.Ferrier
Baz says: People often ask musicians what sort of music they play. Musicians invariably have trouble answering this most basic question, and most of them eventually have to get a publicist to write it up for them.
As we were between publicists, Slim - in a moment of sheer marketing genius - dubbed our music ‘Cajun Cowboy Blues’, a term which I immediately fell in love with, because it’s an evocative style of music that never actually existed.
Put on your dancing shoes One ting for certain - We ain’t got nothing to lose Switch off the CNN bad news Let’s go out dancing to some Cajun Cowboy Blues
