The Greenbriar Boys were a northern bluegrass music group who first got together in jam sessions in New York's Washington Square Park. Along with the New Lost City Ramblers, their urban traditional country sound inspired a generation of musicians and fans.
Biography
In 1959, guitarist/vocalist John Herald formed The Greenbriar Boys, along with Bob Yellin (banjo) and Eric Weissberg (fiddle, mandolin, banjo). Weissberg was soon replaced by Paul Prestopino, who, in turn was later replaced by Ralph Rinzler (mandolin) to form their most successful combination. The trio often played the Greenwich Village scene, but were notable enough to be the first Northern group to win the likes of the Union Grove Fiddlers' Convention competition, where Yellin also took top honors for banjo.
They were credited as guest artists on two tracks from Joan Baez's 1961 album Joan Baez, Vol. 2. In 1962, they released their first eponymous album on Vanguard Records. Three more albums followed: Dián and the Greenbriar Boys in 1963 for Elektra (with Dián James, d. 18 May 2006),Ragged but Right! in 1964, and Better Late Than Never in 1966 (with the additions of mandolinist/vocalist Frank Wakefield, who replaced Rinzler, and fiddler, Jim Buchanan). The 1966 album included the original recorded version of Mike Nesmith's "Different Drum", which was made into a hit song the following year by the Stone Poneys. This album was also the source for a subsequent Stone Poneys single, "Up To My Neck In High Muddy Water," with author credit to Wakefield, Herald, and Yellin.

Lonely Cowboy
by: The BoysWell Gambling Jim took the riverboat down to Rio
Left the trail at a town called Home Sweet Home
Lost his place in the Guinness Book Of Records
As a Rolling Stone...
I`m the only cowboy... Lonely on the range
The only lonely cowboy on the range
V2: Handsome Bill had an eye out for the ladies
Said he's gonna let me know if looks can kill
But I heard tell that he ran right out of favours
And he's running still...
Chameleon Kid as the name suggests was a killer
Who made his name by the element of disguise
When he lost his way by relying on the trigger
It was no surprise...
Oh Preacher Sam was a bible fan so religious
Prayed all day but he never got no reply
Till the message came that he didn't intend to save us
It was suicide....
Well they gunned him down at the Freedom Church Revival
Died they say with the fever light in his eyes
When the bullet lodged in the pages of his bible
From the other side...
