Beginner's Luck

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Cowboy Troy was born and raised in Texas. Growing up to the tunes of Charlie Daniels and ZZ Top, as well as, Run-DMC, L.L. Cool J and others, CBT combined the different styles of music to make his own. Although he didn't invent "Hick-Hop" music he has definitely taken it to a different place.

Album Description
A collection of songs that flex the skill of Cowboy Troy. From the verbal martial arts skills of "Tae Kwon Flo" to the hick-hop flavor of "Blackneck Boogie", CBT, (also known as "Hickules")takes the listener on a tour of what "old school" rap was like and updates that style with a "y'all-ternative" style.

I own the Hollywood Bowl Gershwin CD and I love it. I was surprised by it. Play the samples if you can but the singing and sound are clear and crisp and you can understand every word.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent performer.......2007-03-09

This plates are wonderful. I was charmed, and when I close my eyes now, I see scenes with American in Paris or Porgy and Bess but my favorite piece of music is Rhapsody in Blue. It's more than excellent is fantastic. Jack Gibbons perfectly feels the unique tone Gershwin's music, the mixture rythms of jazz with influences of impressionists and clear and beauty melodies.
I'm fascinating.

5 out of 5 stars A unique project.......2006-11-23

Gibbons' undertaking is unique: to reconstruct and then execute and record the note-for-note playing of Gershwin as documented on the composers' piano rolls, sound recordings and certain published arrangements. I agree with the reviewer who points out that the result is like a library and not a recital you sit back and listen to (or get up and dance to). In fact Gibbons does some editing of his "library" now and then, and clearly documents it in his liner notes: in some reconstructions he augments accompaniment effects and even the melodic line itself. I don't mind that at all, especially as Gibbons scrupulously accounts for such tampering in his liner notes; but it seems to me that it is in this area of "tampering" that Gibbons the artist is asserting himself...which of course undermines the "library", the "historical archive": you have to search and read a bit to find out when you're hearing only Gershwin and when you're hearing some added Gibbons. I don't mind; Gibbons is a remarkable artist in his own right, not merely an impeccable documentarian. For sheer generosity of production Gibbons' Gershwin must also be unique: 4 cd's, scholar-level liner notes (yes, you need a magnifying glass to read them), and rock-bottom bargain price.

5 out of 5 stars Gershwin historical, manic, perfect, archival.......2006-06-12

First: this is 4 high-end produced cd's (in low-end jewel cases) for the price of 2. The liner notes of all 4 cd's are condensed in a booklet of microscopic print, so you may need to spend the savings on a magnifying glass. MONEY WELL SPENT.
Second: Jack Gibbons plays (and has recorded) the Alkan op 39 etudes (he probably plays a lot more Alkan than that). For those of you not in the know, this is to say he has world-class chops, indeed history-class (Liszt, who never played his friend Alkan, at least in public). But it's also to say that Gibbons knows how to interpret and personalize fantastically difficult piano music. For me, his Alkan op 39 is personal and passionate and real (contrast the facile and over-pedalled Hamelin and the just-the-notes-ma'me Ringeissen). An appreciation of Gibbons' Alkan is important here because while his Alkan is uniquely personal (as such music must be, no matter how hard it is to play) his Gershwin is deliberately impersonal...which is to say: no pianist, no singer would want to reproduce what Gibbons has given us in these 4 cd's, and in fact few listeners will be able to listen for long to these 4 cd's without a respite, a break , some silence, some minimal styling from somebody (anybody) else...which brings me to
Third: This is an archive, not a recital. This is a library, not a program. There is no track-by-track contrast of moods here, no track-by-track concession to easy listening, varied delight, any more than a library shelf of novels is alphabetized by authors' last names as a concession to mood or fancy or taste of the searching patron. This is the documented Gershwin in his recording mode: manic, notey, clever, "on", and never, as generations of stylists found in him, ravishing, tender, longing, sweet, glad, hopeful...person-to-person, in a word. I can listen to these cd's about half an hour at a time, max. This is Gerwhsin, not Gibbons. And this is just one side of Gershwin. He died at 38, in the summer. Brain tumor. A lot of pain.
Finally, Jack Gibbons has given the world a uniquely valuable and easily available resource. Gibbons could now do us a service by playing us some Gershwin as he feels it, as it hits him and makes him sing (as Gershwin, our American Schubert, does to all of us, and as I think Alkan has done to Gibbons). I would love to see a Gershwin stylings by Gibbons now that Gibbons himself has made sure Gershwin in his authenticity is safe and sound.

5 out of 5 stars Definative.......2005-07-23

Here's the whole Gershwin catalog at a great price... Five plus hours of bliss. Definately five stars!

Gibbons, according to a family friend and biographer Edward jablonski "recreates Gershwin's style." I'll never know. I can say this is a lively recording and has the perfect balance. It's neither stuffy and plodding or cute.

Unless you went to this concert and want a reason to remember the evening, I can't imagine why you'd want to own the CD. It has all the disadvantages of a live concert (acoustics are poor), and applause occurs on top of the performances. The interpretations of the music by the vocalists Tune and McGovern are poor. Save yourself the money....

              Album Description

              A collection of songs that flex the skill of Cowboy Troy. From the verbal martial arts skills of "Tae Kwon Flo" to the hick-hop flavor of "Blackneck Boogie", CBT, (also known as "Hickules")takes the listener on a tour of what "old school" rap was like and updates that style with a "y'all-ternative" style.

              5 out of 5 stars Know what y'all, it's growing on me!.......2006-04-04

              First of all, I want to say that this man is a very good role model for our children. He is well spoken and polite. He has a college education. Most of all, his rap is CLEAN. Someone said "If you are a rapper with any kid of standars." Come on, todays rappers HAVE NO STANDARDS. This guy has standards. And the music is fun, clean, and makes you wanna dance.

              5 out of 5 stars Thank you Cowboy Troy for redefining the face of country music.......2006-03-27

              I have read the other reviews of Cowboy Troy and personally i disagree with all the negativity.Im relieved that the "im a depressed redneck with a guitar"phase is over.i am and have been a country music fan for years but theres only so many "my wife left me for my brother" and "i love my pickup" songs a person can take. I believe Cowboy Troy has added a little spice to the world of country. I mean come on...hes a modern, more hip-hop version of the great legend Charlie Pride. So i'd like to thank this "big black cowboy with the crazy vocals" for giving the honky tonk some diversity.

              1 out of 5 stars didn't realize I had so much to say about this joker........2005-05-08

              At first I was considering giving this 2 stars, just because it's ridiculously entertaining. But then I realized that people are actually taking this seriously, so before you consider wasting your money, you should ask yourself the following questions:
              -How many times do I really want to hear the same recycled rhythms over and over?
              -How many different ways do I really want to hear, "I'm country AND rap, how original"?
              -Do I feel like I have any standards at all when it comes to rap or country, individually?

              If your answers to these questions make you think twice, you probably should not be listening to this clown. I call him a clown because he's fun to listen to for about 3 minutes because you just can't stop laughing. If you're a country fan who does not like rap, stay away. This is rap. As much as I hate the term, "Hick Hop" is appropriate; it's just some hick rapping. And if you are a rap fan with ANY standards whatsoever, you will find yourself wondering what the genuine appeal is. If you bought the William Hung album and enjoyed it, you'll probably enjoy this. The only difference is that everyone knew Mr. Hung was a joke, including himself. Cowboy Troy and his fans don't realize that everybody in the music industry is laughing at them, and not without good reason!

              In his first single from his new album, he attempts to gain a little bit of credibility by listing his accomplishments, which include that Tim McGraw likes his "hick-hop" and that he went to the CMA's (but didn't win anything). Impressive, right? Are you convinced yet? Did you like Tim McGraw's train wreck of a duet with Nelly? Are you a fool?

              Here is my problem from a rap fan's perspective (whether he likes country or not):
              (1) Take the absolute worst rhythms from Run DMC and a lot of other old-school rappers (groups that often sounded very good, but often also, missed the mark completely), and loop it. There's your first song. Then change it up just a tiny bit so people can tell it's a different song, and loop it. That's song 2... etc, etc... I played a couple CBT songs for my brother because I knew he'd get a good laugh out of it. The second song started, and about a minute through after he wiped the tears from his eyes, he asked, "Is this still the same song?"
              (2) The lyrics! They're never, ever good... NEVER. It is no secret that too may rappers fall into the habit of always rapping about how cool, rich, good at rhyming, and goodlooking they are. Sometimes fans just have to tolerate it as long as the artists come up with clever ways to say it. But here are some sample lyrics from 2 of his songs. Decide for yourself.


              "See I'm spicin' up the show just like a jalepeñ-ya, but it's different from the last time I've seen ya."
              (to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb) "You can't bust a rhyme like this, rhyme like this, rhyme like this. You can't bust a rhyme like this, come on give in, don't try to resist."

              "I've got a Ph.D in the southern attitude and hick-ology."
              "...they call me Hick-u-leez, 'cause I'm knockin' down mountains and I'm choppin' down trees. Lyrical blackbelt, now ya know, Some call it tongue-fu, I call it Tae Kwon Flo."
              "Check one two one two mic check, you know that I'm here in full effect."
              "I got this rhyme goin' into ya ear, with tha funky lyrics that you all want to hear."

              As you can see, you'll come away from listening to a few of his songs knowing a hundred reasons why CBT thinks people should like him, but you'll be unable to think of a single reason for yourself. So, if you think that sounds good, go for it. It doesn't get much better but it CAN'T get much worse. My ultimate advice is to listen to a friend's copy or download a few songs. Or if you really MUST buy some country-influenced rap, just listen to Kid Rock or Bubba Sparxxx. Not saying they're good... just better than CBT. Whatever you choose, proceed with caution, and be sure to sample the songs before you buy blindly, if at all possible.

              1 out of 5 stars Goes to show you there is a market for anything.......2005-05-04

              This dude couldn't cut it in the real rap game so it
              looks like he had to do rap that that only hicks could
              enjoy. I guess the beats in show biz beats the pay at
              Footlocker. Country and mainstream hip hop are the two
              most annoying genres in exsistance. And this CD goes
              on the annoying list aswell. I don;t know what is
              worse.... the music or the term "Hick-Hop" as it isn't
              even catchy.

              Sorry, this uncle tom wannabe isn't fooling me.

              1 out of 5 stars Country?.......2005-04-04

              IF you like country music stay clear of this crap. It's nothing but hip-hop thinly disguised as country. If someone says they like this album its not because they like country music its because they are trying to change country music to be like everything else.
