Back in the ‘80s, drummer Fred LeBlanc played with guitarist Paul Sanchez in a band called the Backbeats that never made it out of the Big Easy. When the group broke up, Sanchez headed to NYC to follow his dream of being a Greenwich Village folkie. Returning to New Orleans in 1988, he reunited with LeBlanc, who’d recently left regional stars Dash Rip Rock and was looking to form a new group. The two joined forces with guitarist John Thomas Griffith (longer-toothed readers might remember his old band, the Red Rockers, who had an ‘80s MTV hit, “China”). The trio jammed for a while before enlisting bassist Rob Savoy, formerly the frontman of Cajun rock act the Blue Runners. In the mid-‘90s, the four seasoned players built a reputation for sweaty, rocking stage shows, meanwhile churning out a series of indie albums: Word of Mouth, Mouthing Off, and It Means Escape. In 1996, Cowboy Mouth attempted to translate the vitality of its live performances onto compact disc with the major-label debut, Are You With Me?. The slightly calmer Mercyland, produced by Mike Barbiero (Counting Crows, Blues Traveler) appeared two years later, followed by an actual live album, All You Need is Live in 2000.     Cowboy Mouth Take Me Back To New Orleans LiquidAudio Alt-Country, Rock Playing to a hometown crowd, these seasoned Crescent City rockers inspire a devoted sing-along that will baffle the uninitiated.
