During my drive home from work the other day, the radio station I was listening to was taking requests for songs with cowbell in them. It’s hard not to immediately think of Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” when hearing something like that, forever reinforced in my mind by the the classic Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell. The station ended up playing “Mississippi Queen” by Mountain, but as I thought more about the criteria, this Montrose gem also came to mind. I wonder if it ever got requested.
