I’ve loved MTB since the early 70’s, and This Old Cowboy is probably my favorite song of theirs. Cowboy Jazz!

Thanks!

I recall the flute chorus but never listened to the words, I sent this link to a friend who just got dumped. You have to get back in the saddle right away, seems to be the gist.

Imagine the improbability of a southern rock band in the era of Skynyrd, the Allmans, and Molly Hatchett featuring ... a flute.

NOT their best song. NOT better live.

This Ol’ Cowboy (single version)

Fire On The Mountain a much better song.

Take The Highway
