New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-platinum country star Eddie Montgomery will release "Be Cowboy," the new PBR (Professional Bull Riders) anthem and CBS broadcast opener, on October 25. A video opener featuring Eddie Montgomery performing "Be Cowboy" will debut at the PBR World Finals in Las
Vegas on November 6. Montgomery heads out to Las
Vegas to perform the song at the World Finals at T
Mobile Arena November 9.
Written by Wynn Varble and
David Frazier, "Be Cowboy" is the soundtrack of PBR's new promotional campaign and will be used in all league marketing. The campaign shows that being a cowboy is not about the boots, hat or buckle, it's not what you look like or where you come from; it's what's in your heart and how you live.

"I grew up watching PBR, and have always loved the sport," said Montgomery. "Through the years, me and the band have played many PBR events. To actually be part of introducing a new theme song is badass and I'm appreciative of the opportunity."
PBR on CBS is a strong TV franchise, averaging over 1 million viewers per broadcast. The past few seasons Aerosmith's
Steven Tyler sang the bull-riding themed song "Hold On (Won't Let Go"), also commissioned by PBR, for the broadcast opener.
Two other artists, rock band
Black Stone Cherry and "The Voice's" Chevel Shepard, recorded separate versions of "Be Cowboy," and both artists will also be featured in the video opener as well as PBR marketing.
"PBR has been called a rock show where incredible bull riding breaks out, and we take great pride in the music so integral to our events," said Sean Gleason, CEO, PBR. "We are thrilled to have a true fan who happens to be a multi-platinum country star like Eddie Montgomery singing 'Be Badder, Be Braver, Be Bolder, Be Cowboy!' to support our new campaign."
