Free Music Review: Not again...
Hit: 2 Stars

Take one listen to the third track off this album, "How Can You Hate Me". That question will be easily answered by listening to the rest of Cowboy Troy's second album, Black in the Saddle.

Aside from the album having a corny title, some critics say that this is a bit of an improvement from his first album. But I think the album is just as bad as that one, even worse sometimes. The main problem is that Troy still can't rap. And he REALLY can't SPEED-rap, as indicated on "Lock Me Up" (but that song doesn't make any sense anyway). Both versions of "Hick Chick" are corny (especially the second version, where the chorus and verses don't even have close to the same beat), and "Cruise Control" failed to hold my interest.

While Troy doesn't resort to metaphors as much this time around, it's still evident on "Paranoid Like Me", where he compares himself to Rocky Balboa -- but actually, that's pretty accurate because the production makes the song sound like some rejected Rocky theme music. More irony ensues in the following track, "Blackneck Boogie", where the intro has Troy sounding like he's reading off lines for a commercial, but then the music sounds like the kind of background music you hear during commercials for `70s and `80s Razor & Tie collections on late-night TV (but the song itself isn't great either). Troy also still has the habit of uninterestingly bragging about how long he's been rapping (see "Take Your Best Shot Now").

There's also an unnecessary club remix of "I Play Chicken with the Train" tacked on here. While "Buffalo Stampede" and "Man with the Microphone" are okay, they definitely aren't enough to save the album. If you already thought Cowboy Troy was all hype and no talent, then Black in the Saddle definitely won't change your opinion.

Black In The Saddle Poster

With his intriguing blend of country and hip hop, Cowboy Troy is Back in the Saddle. Featuring collaborations with such artists as: Angela Hacker, J. Money, and M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold, this album is bound to be full of blending genres and exciting sounds.
As co-host of CMT's Nashville Star, Troy Coleman might have been expected to stick to the amiable hick-hop novelty of his 2005 debut, Loco Motive. Instead, his sophomore effort rocks harder than expected--think heavy-metal guitars--and emphasizes the "black" of the title. While hammy barnyard tunes ("Hick Chick" and a dance mix of "I Play Chicken with the Train") raise their feathered heads, Cowboy brings along Angela Hacker, J. Money, and M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold to balance the MuzikMafia shtick. "The Black Buffalo comin' out the box," he warns in "How Can You Hate Me?," a song that seethes with anger: "Some of y'all sayin' Troy ain't nothing but a Sambo." No more, big guy. No more. --Alanna Nash
