I had the very distinct pleasure of joining Cowboy Troy for dinner last night. The first thing you notice about Cowboy Troy isn’t that he’s a black man that sings country music or that he’s as big as a professional football player, but it is how comfortable he makes you feel around him. Speaking with Troy is like speaking with a family member. Troy is incredibly forthcoming and open and freely shares his personal life and experiences with those around him. We discussed everything from professional wrestling to life with his 10-month old triplet boys.

Cowboy Troy was our latest special guest at M.A.F.I.A. Tuesdays. Last night had to be our best night yet. Amber Leigh sounded great last night and busted out a new song or two singing one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs, “Our Song”. Shy Blakeman was up next with the Bad Jesus Brown Band and they killed just like they always do. I think Cowboy Troy raised performance bar a bit because everybody put a little extra energy into the show.

Cowboy Troy took the stage about 10:30. I had not had a change to catch Cowboy Troy in a live performance and to be perfectly honest, I was a bit skeptical as to how good CT’s music would be live because I assumed there was a bit of post-production work that goes into his albums. I could not have been more off base if I had tried. Last night, backed by the Bad Jesus Brown Band, Cowboy Troy caused quite a ruckus with his performance. It was incredible!!!! It is really a great performance and even if you are not a fan of his music, he is well worth trying to get out to see. I promise you will not get a typical country music performance and if he doesn’t get you pumped up, you need to see your physician because there is something wrong with you. I can’t wait to see CT again real soon.

If you are a Cowboy Troy fan, check out his Hick Chick line of clothing. If you get a chance to meet CT, make sure you tell him the HillBilly Boys say Hey!
