Cow Train - what's that, never heard of them? Well, Cow Train is a cross between a Cowpoke and a Ponchartrain, two country roots bands one legendary, the other working its way toward that status.
The Cowpokes were a country - as in country & western - band that began with a dare to then trumpet player Martin Veysey that he get up on stage and sing country songs. He took the dare, got up and sang a Merle Haggard song and a Johnny Cash song, discovered that he not only liked it, but the audience did as well. Soon there was a band, The Cowpokes, and it was filled with unusually good players enjoying the chance to play music as satisfying as it was unhip.

The drummer was Clive Deamer, later to become immensely famous as the drummer in .Portishead.. The Telecaster man (that's what makes it Western) was Stig Manley, later to rest comfortably on the pinnacles of success as Hazel Winter's collaborator and screwdriver-wielding guitarist. Double bassist Bill Crampton stands in the engine room and occasionally also works with Ponchartrain.
The other significant member of The Cowpokes was steel, dobro and slide guitar master Paul Godden, who with fiddle and accordion playing wife Jean, went on to form Ponchartrain, the soon-to-be legendary country-Cajun- blues-old time quartet. 

Paul got on the phone, resurrected as much of the Cowpokes as he could, and, voila, we have Cow Train with all the above named players. In addition Kev Stenson from London who regularly appears at The Prom with Paul will be playing rhythm guitar and harmonica.
This is a recipe for a players' party, a bunch of extra fine musicians getting together after a long time apart, playing tunes that are fun to play. And if the band is having a party, it's guaranteed, you will be too.
