The imagery i associate the cowboy with most is definitely Jimi Hendrix. It was Hendrix that gave me the "VOODOO" idea, through his songs but also his general apparel (beads, military coats, charms, layers and mixes of materials...)
His presence in psychedelic art and style is huge too - everybody would easily associate with the targeted hippie feel of the film having things reminiscent of Hendrix.
Next i'd say Carlo's Santana with his cool 1960's style (waist coats, drainpipe trousers, chelsea boots) he looked great as if the sharpness of MOD mixed up with the beatles SGT Pepper look..
This time it gives it the cowboy look some more..
Finally Keith Richards. He looks like chewed wire. absolutely everything has happened to him and you can tell through what he wears - a very cultural blend of garments that look like he's just picked them off of various morrocan, turkish and south american markets. it was this "travelled" look that i thought suited the cowboy well - after all.. he had ben to a shaman afterlife, hangin out with the amazonian spirits.
