Groupe Country US formé en 1990 et comprenant Jeffrey Steele, Cary Parks,
Larry Parks et Hugh Wright.
Boy Howdy
was a contemporary country-rock band who formed in Los Angeles in 1990. Their
primary influence was Little Texas,
though one could catch bits of the Eagles
and CCR in their sound, and they
frequently covered classic rock tunes as well. vocalist/bassist Jeffrey Steele
had previously recorded as a solo artist, and under the guidance of
Dwight Yoakam producer Pete Anderson,
he contributed the song "Driftin' Man" to the compilation A Town South of
Bakersfield, Vol. 2. Brothers Cary (guitar, mandolin) and Larry Parks (guitar,
fiddle) were the sons of bluegrass fiddler Ray Parks, and the former had played
with Randy Meisner (Eagles)
and Rick Roberts (Flying
Burrito Brothers) before hooking up with Steele at an L.A. club. Also
present at that gig was drummer Hugh Wright, who completed the lineup. Their
first single was 1991's independently released "When Johnny Comes Marchin' Home
Again," which proved locally popular thanks to the Gulf War, and helped land Boy
Howdy a deal with Curb. Their debut album, Welcome to Howdywood, was
released in 1992, and the group went on to appear in
George Strait's film Pure
Country that year. Tragedy nearly struck when Wright was hit by a car and
spent five months in a coma; fortunately, he recovered, and rejoined the band in
time for their breakthrough, 1994's She'd Give Anything. Even though it
was only a mini-album, it produced two Top Five country singles in the title
track and "They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore." 1995's full-length, Born
That Way, didn't quite duplicate that success, however.
