"Possibly not since (or before) Bob Marleys I Shot The Sheriff has reggae so openly flirted with Country and Western themes." -The Word (Toronto)

The West Indies meets the Wild West! Reggae Cowboys pay tribute to the black cowboys of the past century and the contribution they made to cowboy culture. Combining the powerful rhythms of reggae with country, pop and rock, Reggae Cowboys capture the hearts and souls of audiences everywhere. Whether a reggae fan or not, EVERYONE who sees the Cowboys becomes an instant fan.
The roundup began in late 1993 when Bird "Stone Ranger" Bellony and Aljernon Delano "Click Masta Sync" Rabess (childhood acquaintances from Dominica, British West Indies) joined forces in Toronto, Canada. The Reggae Cowboys' name came from their fascination with the role of African-Americans in settling the West in the 1800s.
Country influences are widely pumped through the radio stations and films in the Caribbean islands, so a lot of West Indians grew up listening to country music. Says Bird, "My brother was a projectionist at the local movie theatre, so I grew up watching Westerns starring Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper, Gabby Hayes, Audie Murphy and Fernando Sancho."
By combining a unique and unforgettable mix of Reggae and Traditional Country, The Reggae Cowboys evoke a euphoric feeling in all of their audience members.
