criticism

• laut.de : “ The Berlin Cowboys keep their annual rhythm when it comes to publications and add to it with 'Stallion Battalion'. Fan complaints will probably not be absent this time, as they are starting to write their own songs more and more. Only occasionally do they push cover versions through the country wolf. "
