Reggae Cowboys

Dreadlocks meet stetsons with the Reggae Cowboys, Canadians with roots in the Caribbean. Founded in Toronto in 1993 by Stone Ranger on lead guitar and vocals and Click Masta Sync on rhythm guitar and vocals, the ensemble is rounded out with Gully on bass and the Hitman on drums. Fusing reggae with all the elements of western music û blues, country, R&B, jazz û the Reggae Cowboys are inspired by the role of African-Americans in settling the American West. They pay tribute to the black cowboys of the past century and the contribution they made to cowboy history. The group released their debut album, ôTell the Truth,ö in 1996, and recently released a second album, ôRock Steady Rodeo.
