Not sure if this qualifies (this guy goes back to the CBGB's days of the mid '70s), but I'll take a chance:

1) I don't know much about him and 2) I've been working on the assumption that Cowpunk is strictly a genre of the 1980s. But if you want to expand the time boundaries, feel free.

Paul Burch - "Montreal"

Damn strong, but I consider them alt-country more than cowpunk.
