about

Nigel Barker's first album under the name Cowboy Hat and That Fuzzbox Voodoo. The album has been widely praised for it's ambition and it's musical intensity. Here's a review or two

'I have never heard a history lesson set to a wicked guitar riff. This album should be played in every American history classroom in America'. REVERBNATION

'Here comes a superbly packaged slab of Americana. These 11 stirring tracks are like a musical history book, each chapter driven along by atmospheric blues rock. The lyrical content is lucid and informative. Big stories, told in epic style. Wyatt Earp, Custer’s Last Stand, The Alamo, the Cherokee Trail of Tears. It’s all here, a great idea, a laudable musical history primer masterminded by a man of vision and determination. Forget Dances with Wolves - this is the American West in eleven dynamic chapters. Mighty fine, Pilgrim!'
Roy Bainton Blues Matters.
'Defiantly unique...Lyrics are phenomenal... Timeless... Cinematic, souful authenticity... lyrics breathtakingly inventive...'
Reverbnation Crowd Reviews

The album ventures in and out of many varied musical styles.. That coupled with the intelligent lyrical content held my attention closely throughout each of their albums. Highly enjoyable. I learned a lot.
Allan Watkiss, UKCountryRadio.com"

It was a beautiful listening experience!
Songs are timeless.... Haunting melodies...Lyrical genius
Vocals excellent. They sound as full of pain as the words being sung.
I want to listen to his raspy voice all day long...Unique
Very cool songs.
Great example of how less is more...Quirky and clever. Some of these lyrics are hilarious...
A very special piece of music.
Would make a great movie soundtrack
Good for radio. catchy.
“Full marks from me. 10 out of 10”
Fantastic potential. REVERBNATION
