Album Reviews

Believe it or not, six-foot-five black cowboy rappers from Texas are still a rarity in country music. So meet Cowboy Troy, the self-proclaimed "blackneck" who brings the hick-hop. He's a protege of country outlaws Big and Rich, who produced Loco Motive after introducing Troy on their Horse of a Different Color. He raps in different languages -- Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese -- but he sounds right at home with the country fiddles of the excellent party track "I Play Chicken With the Train."
