Cowboy Mouth are a New Orleans band, and they sound like it: alternative rock stirred together with classic album-rock muscle, roots rock grit and the long-haul looseness of a jam band. The early '90s brought them their first taste of mainstream success, and "Jenny Says", from Word of Mouth in 1992, is the song that did it, a frantic, heart-on-sleeve rocker with a chorus built to be screamed back by a packed room.
The going got harder later on. After an album sold disappointingly in 2000 their label dropped them, but they kept the machine running on the strength of their live shows and independent releases, and in 2011 the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame took them in. Fred LeBlanc, John Thomas Griffith, Paul Sanchez, Vance DeGeneres, Sonia Tetlow and Regina Zernay are among the many who have played in the band.
