Tonight’s mystery artist is often credited as a pioneer of cowpunk music. Any idea what that is or the band that plays it??

God bless Wikipedia and the strange and wonderful information it contains. In the case of cowpunk’s pioneer it is referring to Dan Baird of the Georgia Satellites.

Baird formed The Georgia Satellites in 1980 and left the band in 1990 to pursue a solo career. He is often credited as a pioneer in cowpunk and Alt-country music, which combines elements of rock music, country music, outlaw country, and punk rock.

Shazam, who knew!

Here is tonight's featured song.
