[Edwards100]

I can see some of you have tried to answer this at the weekend for someone else but I am also stuck on
Throwing a cowboy off his horse? (3,7).

[fiction-factory]

Mamyalynne answered it.
Eva Cassidy

[Edwards100]

Sorry if I am been a bit slow but I get the Cassidy bit but not the eva. Why is that throwing you off a horse?

[JimF]

Eva sounds like "heave a"

[fiction-factory]

If you 'eave 'im of 'is 'orse you are throwing him off it

[Edwards100]

Thanks

[JimF]

A for 'orse
B for brook
C for miles
D for lution
E for brick
F for vescent
Etc

[Edwards100]

Also Do you think 'Probably play best in the mist' (8) is DRIFTERS

[JJ109]

To be honest, I am not keen on the Drifters being correct, but am struggling to think of what it could be. As it is 8 letters it cannot be either "the Vapors" or "Haysi Fantazy".

[JJ109]

got it Gorillaz

[fiction-factory]

I suppose Damon Albarn was in both bands.
