Cowboy Mouth is really all things to all people. Their brainy, sweaty mix of novelty songs, delicate psychedelia, glam, classic rock, and roots gets better and better over time. It's rare in a band that has had such a long run to maintain such brash energy and enthusiasm. While the New Orleans-based band hasn't settled down into a single groove or genre, the musicianship has been tightened up as the players tame some of their former manic energy into a more coherent musical statement. "Trouble" sounds like a missing Kiss track and is a damn sight more interesting than what the painted warriors are turning out lately. The muscular guitar licks, rather misogynist sentiments, chugging bass, and bombastic drumming is a throwback to the days when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, and that is a good thing. "Bad Girl" is a hoot, if only for the aside: "Who cares if Michael Stipe is straight or gay." Cowboy Mouth has finally captured the breathless fun of their incendiary live shows. --Jaan Uhelszki

3.0 out of 5 stars A Devoted Fan of the Mouth, September 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Uh Oh (Audio CD)

My friend from Louisiana got me hooked on Cowboy Mouth two or three years ago. Since then, I have compulsively bought every single CD that they have made, including all of their EPs, Fred LeBlanc's solo album, as well as Paul Sanchez's solo album. Over their year, I think their sound has changed a lot. Their newest CD, "Uh Oh", is by far their furtherest departure from their original sound, and this time, I think they might have strayed a little too far.

"Uh Oh" is certainly catchy. The songs are very hummable, and it makes great background music. But to me, this CD sounds over produced. They obviously had a lot of fun with the mixing machines, and other sound effects in the studio, which I think detracts from the truly excellent singing that this group does. I have seen them live four times, and these guys do not need sythesizing to sound good.

Also disappointing is the overwhelming number of Fred songs on this CD. It seems like there are fewer tuns fronted by the other band member on this CD, as opposed to the other CDs. I was especially surprised the Fred was the one fronting the song "Invincible", as that is one of Paul Sanchez's songs from his solo album.

All of that being said, there are some redeeming elements. We finally have a studio version of Trouble, a song that has been a hit in concert for the last couple of years. The last track on the CD, "Bad Girl" is also really excellent.

If you love the Mouth as I do, you should pick up this CD. Because - let's be honest - any CD by Cowboy Mouth is worth listening to. If you are just getting started with Cowboy Mouth, I would recommend Are You With Me or Easy before purchasing this album.

...why did I buy this?", after you hear it. You'll be SINGING "Uh-Oh" at the top of your voice!! And with every listening it gets better. Combining powerful tracks like "Invincible", "Disconnected" & "Senseless" with fun bouncy tracks like "Bad Girl" and "Tell the Girl", it gives you a glimpse of the range of this band. Give the album a listen, and the next time the Mouth comes to your town, come check 'em out LIVE. I promise you won't be sorry and chances are, you'll leave spreading the word of Cowboy Mouth!!

Cowboy Mouth is a band with extreme energy and enthusiasm. The new CD "Uh-Oh" lets a lot of that wild, take no prisoners energy through. That being said, if you are new Cowboy Mouth fan, or are just trying to find a new band to listen to, do not make up your mind about Cowboy Mouth until you have seen a live show. While their music can stand on it's own, the complete immersion of a Cowboy Mouth show is the stuff that new fans are made from. Do not miss them if they tour anywhere near you. It is an event like no other.
