Cowboy "Why Quit When You're Losing" 2 LP Set on 1973 US issue Capricorn Records # 2CX 0121 stereo ..... ..... The gatefold jacket has some storage scuffings and ring wear, and overall is in good/good plus condition.....The vinyl has several light to medium scuffs and scratches, but played thru fine, and overall is in good to good plus condition.......I use Goldmine magazine's strict guidelines for rating records, and most dealers think I rate TOO hard!!!
While not exactly the house band for Phil Walden's Macon, GA-based Capricorn Records label, the members of the acoustic aggregate Cowboy — consisting of Scott Boyer (guitars/violin/vocals), Tommy Talton (guitars/vocals), Bill Pillmore (piano/guitar/fiddle/vocals), Tomm Wynn (drums/percussion), George Clark (bass), and Pete Lowalke (guitars/vocals/drums) — could be found on recordings by the Allman Brothers Band, Gregg Allman (whom they regularly supported), Alex Taylor and Bonnie Bramlett. Their debut "Reach For The Sky" (1971) amply shows off their rural whimsy and substantial acoustic capacities. While their country-rock leanings are comparable to the Hearts & Flowers, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band or Pure Prairie League, they rely on their solid original material rather than adaptations and variations on traditional works and standards from the genre...
and a review :::: However, as the mini-hoedown "Honey Ain't Nowhere" proves, they dew drop in for some unquestionably bluegrass-inspired pickin'. The succinct "Amelia's Earache" and "Pick Your Nose" are both off-the-wall indulgences that nicely balance out the stunning "Beautiful Friend" and the mid-tempo rocker "Stick Together," which bears all the earmarks of an early-'70s Allman Brothers side. Similarly, "Rip & Snort" features a strong repetitive rhythm that is accentuated by the guitarists in a tandem lead similar to that of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts. Another recommended spin is the languid and laid-back "It's Time," as it wafts into a vibe reminiscent of Neil Young circa "After The Goldrush"(1970). Reach For The Sky (1971) is full of pleasurable, if not slightly pastoral, music that is recommended for inclined ears who likewise favor Southern rock..Full of laidback Southern charm, "5'll Getcha Ten" finds Cowboy further exploring the wonders of back-porch music. Strong songwriting abounds here, and cuts like "All My Friends," "Innocence Song" and "Please Be With Me," which caught the eye of Eric Clapton, all sport fine musicianship. A great album to kick back and relax to.
...This 2 LP set is the reissue of their first 2 LPS: Reach For The Sky & 5'll Getcha Ten ...titles : Opening, Livin' In The Country, Song Of Love And Peace, Amelia's Earache, Pick Your Nose, Pretty Friend, Everything Here, Stick Together, Use Your Situation, It's Time, Honey Ain't Nowhere, Rip & Snort, Josephione Beyond Compare, She Carries A Child, Hey There Babe, 5'll Getcha Ten, The Wonder, Shoestrings, Looking For You, Seven Four Tune, Right On Friend, All My Friends, Innocence Song, Please Be With Me (Features Duane Allman on Slide Dobro), What I Want Is You..Chuck Leavell also plays on 7 songs!!!....

Thank You. Very rare post.
it's downloading now, if it works, you'll have made me the very happiest fellow in the whole wide world!
it WORKED! why two links though? the whole of the album is in part 1.
anyhow, thank you SO MUCH!
Aarrrggghhh! There's a problem with the second file, so I cannot access the last three and a half songs. So close, yet so far! If you have a chance, please can you fix the corrupt file. and many thanks again for this life saving post!
WOW ! I thought I would never hear these tunes again. At one time I had about 500 LP's, and I figure the COWBOY albums got as much or more play than anything I had. This stuff really holds up, and is some of the best songcraft you will ever hear. A big salute and a huge thank you to whoever put these up. Zekeyb.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been yearning and pining for these tunes for decades. I lent the album out years ago and dont remember who...searched every used shop etc since...to no avail. I"m so happy to hear these songs again. I remember every word, every chord.
