I am always seeking names for bands among the daily barrage of broadcasts, news and media. Yesterday I was listening to the Blues Brothers sing "Soul Man." The opening line starts off "I'm comin' atcha on a dusty road...good lovin' I've got a truck load."
See the band name hiding there? It's "Dusty Road." I think that would be a good name for a country and western band.
A good band name, I think, is two words that create a mental image that ties in with the band's genre. The two words are a noun and an adjective. You can also use one word, usually a noun.
It's a fun exercise. Some examples off the top of my head:
Spurs
Side Saddle - a real name of a western girl band
Rawhide
Hellbent for Leather
Ghost Riders (name of a famous song)
Cinco Amigos -- A Mexican music quintet
Starlit Night
Campfire Cousins
Bullwhip
Chaw
