    I'm partial to:
    Sundown
    Even a Cactus Dies Without Love (which is actually a really funny title)
    The Cowboy (I am a big fan of "The" in front of Nouns for Titles)
    Bootful of Whiskey (very Tom Waits)

    Of course...I haven't read a darn word of it.

    I like:
    The Unwilling Cowboy
    Whiskey and Sand
    Bootful of Whiskey

    or maybe I just like Whiskey.

    I also like "Even a cactus die without love".

    Dead cowboys tell no lies.

    I love whiskey and sand but if it's a comedy i think it doesn't work.

    Though "Sand in Herbie's Wiskey" might work.

    Loveless cacti.

    hmmm - you ask an interesting question. titles are like magic really. or they are like the wand that sets everything a-light. So i think you should go with -

    Herbie, Prince of Yanks

    Moody Cowboys Wear Spurs

    Or maybe just

    Tarnation

    Ideally I like a title with double (or triple)meaning--literal and figurative which at the same time shows the tone of the play. A good example of a title I had that I liked was Deflowering Waldo--the play about the virgin who was afraid of flowers (among other things). I don't want another title like that but for that play it is a freakin perfect title. Maybe I need to rethink the way I choose titles. I like titles that are not searchable by google, yet. Maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on that.

    At the moment I'm going with The Reluctant Cowboy. You are welcome to change my mind with persuasive arguments or cash gifts.

    I think the Reluctant Cowboy is a good title but it's too serious for a comedy !
    How do I change your mind ?

    Cowboy no wanna ? (kidding)

    Something with boots dragging ?
    I am sure you've already moved on...
